Given the amount of open collections and exhibits, the possibility of teaching archival literacy skills is more accessible than ever.

Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders
Critical thinking requires one to be abstract, continually raise questions, independently obtain and reviews evidence, and converge these experiences to offer open-minded solutions.

Findings indicate that students respond to the metaphor by drawing upon positive and empathetically-informed models of teachers and teaching to guide how they would work with and …
