Critical Thinking In The Classroom An Antidote To Screen-Fueled Student Disengagement

Ed Tech
A Free Event Exploring Purposeful Learning & Teaching for the 21st Century Students are disengaged. We know why — and what to do about it. Student disengagement is one of the defining crises in education today. Screens, short-form content, and a culture of passive consumption have left many young people unable to connect deeply with their learning. This event brings together leading researchers, educators, and communicators to do two things: name the problem honestly, and equip attendees with practical solutions grounded in the science of thinking. The answer isn't just banning phones, lecturing harder or tap-dancing to keep student attention. It's building classrooms where thinking and connection become the point — and where students discover they have something worth saying. Participants may receive a certificate for up to ten (10) Professional Development Hours: two (2) hours on night one, and eight (8) hours on day two.
