New Critical Thinking Certification Give Students an Advantage in College and Job Applications
For Immediate Release:
April 24, 2015
12:00PM (EST)
New
Critical Thinking Certification Give Students an Advantage in College and Job
Applications
Atlanta, GA—April 24, 2015---Core Edge Image & Charisma
Institute (Core Edge) recently developed the IBAR Critical Thinking Method
(IBAR) certification to help students bolster their college and job
applications in response to corporate employers’ desire to see more college
graduates and new employees become effective critical thinkers and problem solvers. According to St. Olaf
Institutional Research & Evaluation website, “Eighty-one percent of
employers say students should place more emphasis on developing critical
thinking and analytical reasoning skills; 63% say they should place more
emphasis on developing quantitative reasoning skills.” IBAR is a hybrid
critical thinking method influenced by the legal analysis used in American law
schools and the qualitative and quantitative research methods used in graduate
school programs. Core Edge introduced Atlanta Public School’s GED students to IBAR
and credits this method for improving critical thinking, research and writing
skills.
Core Edge’s founder and developer of IBAR Edward Brown says, “We decided
that encouraging students to earn a Certificate of Training in critical
thinking for their college and job applications would give them an edge in the
marketplace. We certify students so that
they can use the certificate as documented proof that they can diagnose and
solve problems, which is a prerequisite for high-level positions. If two
students have equal qualifications, the student who is a certified critical
thinker will most likely be selected by colleges as well as secure desired
employment.”
IBAR will be marketed to corporations and educational institutions
for classroom and online education consisting of seven sessions (one hour each)
for critical thinking certification.
Core Edge Image & Charisma Institute is an applied research
and Internet marketing company that creates digital products and services to
solve problems in niche markets. Core Edge Image & Charisma Institute was
founded in Atlanta in 2002.

New Critical Thinking Certification Makes Students Smarter and More Marketable

New Critical Thinking Certification Makes
Students Smarter and More Marketable
Atlanta, GA—April 16, 2015---Core Edge Image & Charisma
Institute recently developed the IBAR Critical Thinking Method (IBAR)
certification for students in response to corporate employers’ desire to see
employees become more effective thinkers in the workplace. According to
St. Olaf Institutional Research & Evaluation website, “Eighty-one percent
of employers say students should place more emphasis on developing critical
thinking and analytical reasoning skills; 63% say they should place more emphasis
on developing quantitative reasoning skills.” IBAR is a hybrid critical
thinking method influenced by the legal analysis used in American law schools
and the qualitative and quantitative research methods used in master’s degree
programs within universities, but geared for the layperson.
Core Edge Image & Charisma Institute founder and developer of
IBAR Edward Brown says, “Although the Internet was supposed to make individuals
smarter, it actually has done the opposite by producing a society of
non-thinkers. If you can begin thinking about the world, critically and
creatively, you can begin transforming it. We certify students so that they can
use the certificate as proof that they can diagnose and solve problems for
their college and employment applications. If two students have equal
qualifications, the student who is a certified critical thinker will be
selected by colleges as well secure desired employment. Typically, to be
valuable as an employee, you should be either making or saving the company
money. If you are not doing one or the other, you are expendable. IBAR allows
you to do both.”
IBAR will be marketed to corporations and educational institutions
for online education consisting of seven sessions (one-hour each) for critical
thinking certification.

Author Starts Tutoring Company After Improving the Writing and Critical Thinking Skills of Atlanta Public School’s GED Students
For Immediate Release:
April 9, 2015
12:00PM (EST)
Survey says that a
wide margin of college graduates can’t write well
Atlanta, GA—April 9, 2015---Published author and researcher
Edward Brown of Core Edge Image & Charisma Institute has added an online
writing tutoring service to the company in a quest to help more students become
college prepared and workforce ready. A survey by the Workforce Solutions Group
at St. Louis Community College found that more than 60% of employers said applicants
lacked “communication and interpersonal skills...” A wide margin of managers
also said today’s applicants can’t think critically and creatively, solve
problems, or write well (White 2013). After reading these statistics, Brown saw an
opportunity to supplement high school and college education by applying
graduate school methods to learning. Brown
introduced Atlanta Public School’s GED students to the IRAC Method taught in
most law schools for critical thinking as well as the rudiments for writing
master’s level thesis papers. Brown
credits using graduate school methodology as instrumental to improving high
school students’ thinking and writing.
Brown, says, “I didn’t want to become involved in a ‘me too’
venture with the larger tutoring companies. When I read the Workforce Solutions
Group survey, the need for better writing, critical thinking and problem
solving skills resonated with me. With my law school experience coupled with a
research-based master’s degree, I felt I could outcompete the larger tutoring
companies by implementing graduate school level teaching to students. When
previously low-performing students began researching and writing at a college
level, I knew I was onto something. This
venture affords me the opportunity to do good and well simultaneously.”
