Imagine a test where teachers are the ones solving questions, cracking codes and putting their reasoning to the test. Yes, you heard it right, CREST Olympiads is conducting the CREST Teacher Reasoning Olympiad (CTRO) which is a unique initiative aimed at enhancing the reasoning and critical thinking skills of educators. It provides a unique competitive platform for teachers to nurture, recognise their potential and identify their talent at the international level. CTRO is designed for teachers to sharpen their logical and analytical abilities while engaging in intellectual challenges that they can apply later to their teaching methodologies. By participating in this Olympiad, teachers not only improve their own problem-solving and analytical skills but also set a strong example of continuous learning for their students.
The teachers should take the CREST Teacher Reasoning Olympiad (CTRO) for the grades they teach.
