Built for students, young professionals, and workforce development participants who are ready to stop reacting and start reasoning — with a framework they can actually use.
The Program
Gen Z learners are flooded with information, opinions, and competing narratives every day. This workshop doesn't teach them what to think — it gives them a repeatable method for how to think, applied to real situations they actually face: workplace dynamics, social media, relationships, and decisions that shape their futures.
Every lesson is grounded in the CTW Framework — a six-step sequence that moves learners from reaction to reasoning. The approach is practical, direct, and built for how this generation actually engages.
Who This Is For
High school juniors and seniors, college students, and anyone preparing to enter the workforce. Builds reasoning skills before the stakes get higher.
Early-career employees navigating teams, expectations, and communication challenges for the first time — with real consequences attached.
Nonprofit programs, workforce readiness initiatives, and community organizations equipping participants with career-ready thinking skills.
"Most people have never been taught how to think — only what to think. That gap is the foundation of everything I build."
— Jazmin Sharelle
Learning Outcomes
Participants learn to separate what they know from what they feel — and why that distinction shapes every conversation and decision they make.
The six-step CTW Framework — Ask, Imply, Connect, Reflect, Call to Think, Apply — gives learners a portable tool they can use on anything.
Core vocabulary — assumptions, implications, context, evidence — gives participants the words to think more precisely and communicate more clearly.
Participants run the framework on claims and situations they actually recognize — not abstract case studies. The practice builds the habit.
Structured writing prompts connect the framework to each learner's own beliefs, decisions, and experiences — deepening retention and personal application.
The goal isn't agreement — it's clarity. Participants leave knowing how to form and defend a position with integrity rather than defensiveness.
Program Structure
Lesson 1
What critical thinking actually is — and what it isn't. Participants build core vocabulary, learn the difference between fact and feeling, and develop the language they'll use throughout the program and beyond.
Lesson 2
A full introduction to the six-step Critical Thinking Weekly™ method. Participants learn each step and practice running the sequence on a guided example relevant to their experience.
Lesson 3
Participants choose a real belief, claim, or situation from their own life and run it through the full CTW Framework. Guided reflective writing prompts close the lesson and anchor the method to each person's lived experience.
How It's Delivered
Participants work through the program independently at their own pace. Ideal for workforce development cohorts and individual learners.
