create a category of ideas. eg compare socialism w capitalism (essential questions, concept mapping, stating it in your own words)
Problem-Solving How to settle a disagreement. Systematic, planned, step-by-step process thinking. Tough to measure. Impulsive responders struggle w this.
Critical Thinking Deciding which course is best. Not accepting things at face value. Step-by-step approach works. Takes practice. eg editorials

The cornerstone of the school improvement movement was the adoption of content and performance standards as the means to ensure that all students receive a rigorous and relevant education.
