What do teachers say about the Critical Skills Classroom?

“Intentionally incorporating Critical Skills into my teaching has transformed the learning experience for my students and for me as the lead learner. CS helps tie the content to real-world experience and makes my classroom a true, whole-child, student-centered environment.”

“Critical Skills continues to be ahead of its time in its framework, supporting classrooms where student engagement and learning are centered using Evidence-based practices that teach and engage both academic and social-emotional learning. Its success in providing students with the skills to navigate their learning in a collaborative and safe environment creates a classroom where students are working hard and learning while teachers are using their expertise to guide and support them. It enables teachers to “work smarter, not harder” and students to engage in school where their work and the content are truly meaningful for them.”
