Welcome to the 2020 Critical & Creative Thinking Conference!

The mission of this conference is to provide a forum for sharing successful strategies and empowering discussions related to embedding teaching and learning of critical and creative thinking into our work as educators and our passion as lifelong learners.

We seek to provide a balance of research and practice based workshops and presentations within a community of peers.

We are committed to expanding and supporting a collegial community among our participants and their institutions. The 2020 Annual Critical & Creative Thinking Conference will be a virtual event hosted by the University of South Florida St. Petersburg from September 29, 2020 to October 2, 2020.
