REDvolutionize Your Classroom: Teaching Critical Analysis That Sticks

Critical thinking is an essential skill for business students, yet teaching it effectively and ensuring its transfer across contexts can be daunting for educators. This hands-on Professional Development Workshop (PDW) introduces the RED model—a simple, adaptable framework designed to make critical thinking teachable, memorable, and transferable. Participants will explore strategies to integrate critical thinking into any business course, tackle common instructional challenges, and apply the model through personalized exercises. Bring your own exercise or work with one provided to receive actionable feedback. With proven success in AACSB accreditation preparation, this workshop empowers educators to transform critical thinking instruction.
