ThinkerAnalytix is a non-profit collaboration between Harvard philosophers and classroom teachers that uses a simple, research-backed method called argument mapping to teach logical reasoning skills. We've built an online course for teachers and a mobile game for students. We also conduct professional development workshops at Harvard and at partner schools. The result is that students succeed on standardized tests, write more effectively, and discuss current issues with precision and intellectual charity. Mission: Our mission is to ensure that all students can develop and practice reasoning skills by focusing explicitly on how reasons fit together.Vision: We envision a world where every student:-Has rich and abundant opportunities to practice reasoning skills until achieving mastery-Values reasoning as an intrinsic good to be pursued for its own sake-Is empowered to think for themselves about what is true, just, and beautiful – and to communicate their ideas successfullyValues: We value:-A commitment to the truth: Students are inspired to think courageously and challenge long-held beliefs and institutions.-Intellectual humility: Students experience the process of changing their minds.-Empathy: Students listen rigorously and work to understand those they disagree with.-Joy and humor: Students experience analysis and debate as exciting and constructive.
