TILT held its first Summer Conference on Learning, Teaching, and Critical Thinking on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 20^th and 21^st, 2008. The conference theme, "Integrating Critical Thinking into Your Courses," called attention to the central importance of providing opportunities for students to think critically about the information, ideas, and arguments they encounter in their courses.

The pre-conference workshop, held on Tuesday, provided opportunities for more than 40 instructors to integrate critical thinking activities into their courses. The workshop was directed by William Condon, from Washington State University, who led WSU’s highly successful Critical Thinking Project. Dr. Condon also delivered the keynote address to open the conference.

The conference, held on Wednesday from 9:00 to 5:00, addressed strategies for using critical thinking to support student learning and engagement. More than 150 instructors participated in the conference.

In spring 2009, we will provide information on this page about the 2009 conference. If you have questions or suggestions for the conference, please contact us at TILT@ColoState.edu or call (970) 491-3132.
