We try to do too much at once. Emotions, information, logic, hope, and creativity all crowd in on us. It's like juggling with too many balls. (De Bono, E., 1999). Based on the work of Edward De Bono, we explore an illuminating technique that assists graduate students to unscramble thinking confusion, whether in supervision or the classroom. The technique is entitled Six Thinking Hats. The purpose of Six Thinking Hats is to cultivate innovative and critical thinkers, multicultural competency, ability to provide and receive feedback, engage in individual and collaborative decision making, practice of conceptualization skills, promotion of self-awareness, and development of professional identity. In this program, there will be exploration, discussion, and application of the Six Thinking Hats for supervisors and instructors.
