Book Overview
Critical thinking is the essential tool for ensuring that students fulfill their promise. But, in reality, critical thinking is still a luxury good, and students with the greatest potential are too often challenged the least. Thinking Like a Lawyer:
- Introduces a powerful but practical framework to close the critical thinking gap.
- Gives teachers the tools and knowledge to teach critical thinking to all students.
- Helps students adopt the skills, habits, and mindsets of lawyers.
- Empowers students to tackle 21st-century problems.
- Teaches students how to compete in a rapidly changing global marketplace.
Colin Seale, a teacher-turned-attorney-turned-education-innovator and founder of thinkLaw, uses his unique experience to introduce a wide variety of concrete instructional strategies and examples that teachers can use in all grade levels and subject areas. Individual chapters address underachievement, the value of nuance, evidence-based reasoning, social-emotional learning, equitable education, and leveraging families to close the critical thinking gap.

Teaches how to indoctrinate, not HOW to think
Derived From Web , Sep 28, 2020
This book has good points, but it revolves around teaching children that critical thinking is done only within the confines of a liberal worldview. This leads to the same limited thinking as any other indoctrination that regurgitating the views of the one teaching instead of directing a young mind towards its own discoveries.

Fantastic reading with easy application in the classroom. Love the great release of information and mistaken analysis for a slow discussion with students! I'm going to use BATNA on my wife and my children. This book is highly recommended!

Buy me!
Derived From Web , Jun 3, 2020
I am a former teacher of K-12 and a certified ELADrama teacher. I am crazy about this book because there are so many great ideas. I love how there is a general framework of thinking like a lawyer and examples of how to actually practice this in your classroom. One of our units this year is controversial issues and this book will complement our materials by helping me teach my students to think, not WHAT to think. Another point in the book is particularly important in this era, we are now in the right of the protests and Covid, it is better to DO right than to BE right. I admit, I love to be right! Who does? But right now, I think this is a very important point to make and illustrate for our students and children.

Practical Guide on Critical Thinking
Derived From Web , May 30, 2020
Seale does an esoteric and academic job of rooting something very incredible right into the ground. This is achieved by sharing dialogues, remarkable examples and his own story on the way. My favorite part was at the very end, where he addresses the role that parents can play in supporting critical thinking skills of their children. This was a great read and my copy is full of dog-eared pages!

Awesome Much Needed Book!
Derived From Web , May 4, 2020
Colin does a great job of explaining how critical thinking is valuable across all subject areas. Like I believe, all students have the capacity to organize their thoughts critically if they are directed to think there. Great read, can 't wait to implement it in my work.
