In 2010, we launched the Critical Thinking Initiative to enhance student learning by improving critical thinking skills. This comprehensive program involves forming an Academic Round Table (ART) with 6-12 faculty and staff members led by a Faculty Champion who is dedicated to teaching and mentoring. Deliverables include developing an instructional portfolio, implementing assessment initiatives, and providing professional development resources. The initiative focuses on fostering student success and engaging faculty in a collaborative environment to cultivate critical thinking skills in students.
