The Critical Thinking
Un-Conference
Let us break down Critical Thinking so you can apply it at your school.
Come as a Leader. Leave as a Thinker.
You've sat through enough conferences. You know how they go — a packed agenda, a few inspiring quotes, polite applause, and then back to Monday like nothing happened.
This is not that.
The Critical Thinking Un-Conference is a full-day experience where school leaders become learners, exploring the power of critical thinking through authentic learning experiences.
Here, there are no panel discussions, no school awards, and no school leaders sitting bored in the audience. Just you, a room full of people who care about the same things you do, and a subject that deserves far more than a 20-minute talk.
We've designed this like a college day — the kind where you actually show up. You'll work through ideas with experts, wrestle with real problems from Indian classrooms, and leave with things you can actually use.
Because the best thing a school leader can model… is how to think.
