Copy of T.H.I.N.K. Campaign

Think. Hear. Inquire. Navigate. Keep Welcome.

I commit to upholding the principles of The Academic Dialogue Framework, fostering a classroom focused on learning learning how to think, not what to think.

I will foster an environment where students can:

Think critically by emphasizing analysis, reasoning, and evidence
Hear different perspectives by inviting multiple viewpoints when relevant
Inquire with curiosity through open-ended questioning
Navigate disagreement respectfully by modeling civil discourse
Keep the classroom welcoming for all students
