Debbie Aliya started her exploration on how to teach Thinking Skill Optimization by studying David A. Levy’s book “Tools of Critical Thinking” and Michael J. Gelb’s book “How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci”.

“Do we ever think about thinking itself?” – David A Levy

“Your brain is much better than you think.” – Michael J Gelb

"Critical thinking is certainly a "skill", but when possessed as a mindset - a playful and humble willingness - it shifts from a labor to an art. It asks, "Is this true? By what standard?" - Terry Heick
