Critical Thinking workshop offered online in October
Registration is open for an online critical thinking workshop, Increasing Effectiveness with Critical Thinking, offered via Zoom 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Oct. 23 and Oct. 30 through the University of Maine Hutchinson Center.
This two-day workshop, which is presented in partnership with the Maine Business School, will improve participants’ ability to discriminate between facts and arbitrary statements, present clear perspectives, make clear decisions, generate creative solutions and collaborate to find solutions. The workshop will benefit professionals in social and human services, business leaders and workers, government officials, students, and those seeking enhanced efficacy in their communications.
Terry Porter, a UMaine associate professor emerita, will facilitate the workshop. She holds a master’s degree in clinical psychology and is a certified mental health counselor with more than 30 years of experience as a teacher and facilitator.
The cost to attend is $150 per person; a limited number of need-based scholarships are available to Knox and Waldo County residents. Participants will earn a UMaine certificate of completion and are eligible to apply for 0.75 CEUs/7.5 contact hours.
