The CoRT Techniques

The CoRT (Cognitive Research Trust) Thinking Techniques are a collection of thinking tools that provide a practical way to teach critical thinking skills.

• ·PMI: Plus, Minus, Interesting
• CAF: Consider All Factors
• OPV: Other People’s Views
• APC: Alternatives, Possibilities, Choices
• AGO: Aims, Goals, Objectives
