This person does not speak up and when…

urges parents to use the Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems (ALSUP) to determine which skills their child has trouble with and what “unsolved problems” arise from the lack of this skill.

How do we create learning environments that foster creative and critical thinking skills? How do we encourage students to move beyond grades and to cultivate inquiry skills beyond problem solving to problem finding, idea generation and divergent thinking? How do we cultivate deep thinkers...not just good standardized test…
