The James Randi Educational Foundation Gives Teachers a Hand
New York City was recently the host to the North East Conference on Science and Skepticism, or NECSS which is pronounced “nexus.” NECSS ran over three days and included some great events outside of the conference in different venues in NYC. Saturday April 20th was a full day of panels and presentation, including a live taping of “The Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe” with special guest James “The Amazing” Randi. NECSS was a great event for anyone who enjoys science and critical thinking.
One panel in particular that was of interest to me was Critical Thinking Education. On the panel were DJ Grothe, president of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), Dr. Meghan Groome from the New York Academy of Science and Marc Barnhill, who teaches critical thinking at New York University. All three panelists have been involved in teaching critical thinking either in traditional classroom settings or as part of workshops for adults and educators.
