The Critical Thinking Community
The Critical Thinking Community website, sponsored by the Foundation for Critical Thinking and the Center for Critical Thinking, provides a comprehensive offering of resources including full-text articles and teaching materials for purchase (books, mini-guides, videos, posters). This is the home site for the Richard Paul and Linda Elder framework of Critical Thinking which has been adopted to guide UofL’s QEP on Using Critical Thinking to Foster Student Learning and Community Engagement.

A Learning College Built on Critical Thinking
The Surry Community College website is focused on helping administration, faculty, staff, and students improve and expand their understanding and application of critical thinking. The criteria they used to select the Paul-Elder framework of critical thinking as a common, college-wide model of critical thinking is provided. The site also provides sample course assignments and a grading rubric based on the Paul-Elder framework.
