Celebrating 40 years
We’ve been working with teachers to create meaningful classroom experiences since 1985. This year, we’re taking a moment to celebrate with new books, webinars, and free resources!

Research and educators agree: there’s a core set of skills and dispositions that students need most — and that are most often missing when they leave school. Collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creative problem-solving — these aren’t soft skills. They’re the foundation of a well-educated person.
The Critical Skills Classroom approach is built around developing exactly these capacities alongside academic content. And this list isn’t fixed — if your school has already identified its own set of process skills or learner qualities, those fit right in.
