The emerging level course will dive deeper into problem-solving and using critical thinking to distinguish sources, analyze information, and draw conclusions from information to aid in decision-making. These skills are critical for those evaluating GEAR UP programs.
This course covers:
- Skill-application through the problem-solving cycle;
- Distinguishing sources in problem-solving;
- Reasoned judgments;
- Drawing conclusions and identifying useful and less useful details in problem-solving; and
- Evidence-based intervention tiers in relation to GEAR UP services.

Take the full series
This is the second of three courses on critical thinking and problem-solving for evaluators. The courses build on each other, so we recommend taking all three courses, regardless of experience. The full series should take up to 6 hours to complete and you can take the courses at your own pace.
Certificate of Completion
To receive a certificate of completion, you must complete each lesson, all surveys, and pass the assessment with an 80% or higher for which you will have two retake opportunities.
