The senior ACT newsletter (The Examined Life) looks at 20 thought-provoking issues every month, gives you links to media sources to explore them, and provides classroom-ready mini-lessons inviting you to challenge your assumptions and biases.
The Examined Life is for any teacher to encourage authentic critical thinking, tutors and PSE leaders, EPQ coordinators, and careers departments looking to develop life-skills.
