Webinar details

State Library of Queensland is excited to host Dr Peter Ellerton, Senior Lecturer and Director of Curriculum and Pedagogy from University of Queensland Critical Thinking Project, to deliver this thought-provoking and practical webinar designed for educators.

In an era of misinformation, information overload, and the growing influence of AI, the ability to think critically has never been more essential.

Discover how teaching critical thinking can equip students with the tools they need to confidently question, collaborate, and create in an increasingly complex digital world. Dr Ellerton will share evidence-based strategies to foster deeper thinking, build resilience in the face of uncertainty and support meaningful classroom conversations.

Perfect for teachers and curriculum leaders looking to elevate their practice and support students in becoming thoughtful, adaptable learners.

Date: Thursday 29 May 2025

Live streamed via Teams: 6:30 – 7:30 pm (includes 10 minute Q&A)
