The Pedagogish Infobase is a collection of downloadable handouts (called Infosheets) for students and teachers on aspects of critical thinking, critical theory, and critical pedagogy.
The first group of Infosheets covers aspects of essay writing including research, drafting, and revising. The list below includes 30 Infosheets that are currently ready for use, in revision, or planned. As each Infosheet becomes available, it will change from cold spot to hot spot (hyperlink) in the list below.
As with all content on Criticality, I welcome your feedback, whether you are a student, a teacher, or an interested bystander.
