I learned some strategies for implementing critical thinking exercises in the classroom. I like the silent poster idea for my quiet introverted students to get their ideas out.
Well im thankful that i have been doing classroom activities and assignments over the years that are stimulating the students to be critical thinkers. Im preparing class lectures for the students to be more efficient at assessment skills. Teaching them how to write soap notes and think quickly about a plan for the treatment of Sport Injuries.HAving them create their own sign up sheets and discovering business marketing tools.

i WILL HELP THEM WITH APPLING SPECIFIC ASSESSMENT SKILLS AND THE APPLICATION OF Massage set skills.
First i will review the structure , introduce techniques and then have them make the decisions to help the client
I learned that critical thinking skills should be expanded in the classroom so that the student is career ready once they are in the work force.
I feel it will be benifical as to the studssent to buid strategies that will help them in life,also benefit them in problem solving either solo or in a team.
Students lack soft skills, especially in critical thinking. Critical thinking and soft skills are what employers are looking for.
It appears that employers value soft skills and critical thinking skills above some content skills. Content skills can be refined by hands-on
work, either on the classroom or on the job. Critical thinking and problem solving skills can also be refined on the job, but should probably have a foundation to build on first.
So far in this course, I have learned how important critical thinking/ soft skills are in the workplace. Students need to understand that being able to identify the problem and think through is a key part of being hireable.
