You cannot teach "how to to think". You have to give students thinking problems to actually train thinking. Those kinds of problems can increasingly be farmed off to AI, or at least certain subproblems in them.

I meam, yes, to an extent you can teach how to think: critical thinking and logic are topics you can teach and people who take their teaching to heart can become better thinkers. However, those topics cannot impart creativity. Critical thinking is called exactly that because it's about tools and skills for separating bad thinking from good thinking. The skill of generating good thinking probably cannot be taught; it can only be improved with problem-solving practice.
