At Gerstell, we define "critical thinking" as "The ability to analyze facts, to generate and organize ideas, to defend logical results, to make comparisons, to draw inferences, to evaluate arguments excluding bias, to solve problems, and to be open-minded when reflecting on the process." The ability to think critically ensures that leaders, including future leaders, are objective in their analysis of information.
Leadership skills are further fostered by instilling the language of leadership which reinforces the mindset of an effective leader, including the "Rule of One", the quote, "Leave it as you found it or better", and the definition of critical thinking. At Gerstell Academy, leadership education focuses on the five academic areas of leadership, relevant history, science, psychology, and comparative religions and cultures. Social skills play a critical role in children's well-being and educational development Students develop confidence as they learn the importance of presentation skills, eye contact, and public speaking.Īdditionally, leadership development requires specific education and comprehensive skill development.
