Article Alert:
Assessing Critical Thinking Skills Using Articles From the Popular Press<http://learningcenter.nsta.org/files/jcst1201_66.pdf> — This article was mentioned on an educational assessment listserv — I think we might be doing this type of activity already in our instruction efforts. Consider measuring Critical Thinking as part of your teaching.
