Giving critical thinking assignments on top of regular tests would be a good start to get children thinking critically and still being able to academically measure the progress the children are making.

First of all I do not completely agree that there is a way to incorporate a whole new way or learning in to our schools. If I was going to try and persuade others to change learning to a more critical thinking perspective, I would suggest that teachers must change the way they teach class. This is hard to do because then there is no certain way to give out grades because critical thinking does not always have a definite correct answer. Teachers would still have to give traditional tests and standardized tests, but could also give the students critical thinking assignments.

Good point. It would take some time to incorporate critical thinking aspects in to the teaching material.
