A balanced argument doesn’t weigh two sides equally. It weighs the strongest evidence more heavily.
Critical thinking isn't about representing every view. It's about recognizing your biases, and giving serious consideration to facts that contradict your hopes and beliefs.
If you’re an educator, you need to watch this. If you consider yourself a decent human, you also need to watch. Not every situation is this extreme but almost everyone has a layer they don’t let you see. #BeKind#BeTheChange

It’s easy to be become dejected or overwhelmed when we’re facing a problem or a big goal. It helps to break things down into smaller steps or goals and focus on tackling the one that’s in front of you. Small steps still move you forward! #edchat
My advice on conferring.
Just start doing it. Don’t stress about choosing the perfect teaching point or having the most beautiful toolkit.
The more you do it, the better you become.
Worst case scenario: You get to chat with one of readers, just you & them.
