“I like it because it makes things very clear. It’s really satisfying once you finish and you can really see what’s going on underneath all the language”

“After spending two years working off and on with ThinkerAnalytix and finally exposing my own students to the skill of argument-mapping in the fall of 2018, I am already noticing significant improvement in both their argument writing and speaking skills. Students seem to be presenting well-supported, coherent arguments about divisive historical and contemporary issues with greater frequency than ever before. Perhaps more importantly is the decrease in miscommunication and discord between students with varying perspectives.”
“ThinkerAnalytix provides students with crucial analytic skills and tools to write exemplar pieces. The curriculum they have designed connects students to real world issues while providing educators the training to teach the tools of dissecting an argument. As a STEM teacher, it is often difficult to find curriculum that is interdisciplinary. I look forward to future training sessions.”
Experts
“The fact that we recognize a common framework, means that your view is becoming intelligible to me. So to that extent, you become a bit more human in my eyes and vice versa. So that’s a hope. And I think it’s like, we urgently need something like this right now.”

“The atmosphere at the workshop was exceptionally collegial and energizing. Nate and Anne bring a rare combination of intellectual rigor and purpose and professional humility to their work. They conveyed throughout the workshop — through the quality and quantity of materials they shared with us, through the organized agenda they followed each day, and through their eagerness for our feedback and ideas — not only that they passionately believe in the tool they are sharing but also that they deeply respect teachers and the work we do. ThinkerAnalytix is a model of excellent professional development.”
