Greensboro Plan: Infusing Reasoning and Writing into the K-12 Curriculum

A National Model for Critical Thinking Staff Development - An Urban, Conservative, Multi-Racial, Success Story. Some would say that the city of Greensboro, North Carolina is an unlikely site for a national model for critical thinking staff development.

Multi-racial (both students and staff). Yet there it is. See how a district has been developing a first-rate, long-term critical thinking program.
