Many educators and policy makers advocate for instruction in critical thinking and related higher-order skills in K–12 classrooms. But as Wagner, Johnson, Fair, and Fasko rightly point out, K–12 teachers cannot effectively nurture and model skills that they themselves haven’t yet mastered. In Thinking Ahead, Wagner et al. provide concrete guidance for teacher educators who hope to foster critico-creative thinking—analytical yet open-minded inquiry and evaluation of ideas and evidence—in preservice and novice teachers. This book offers a goldmine of strategies and discussion topics that can help students in teacher preparation programs to think deeply and critico-creatively about things they might do both in their individual classrooms and in their broader educational communities.
