In this week’s episode, Rick takes the Transforming Teachers crowd down the fascinating path of METACOGNITION. We’ll be looking at the way students think about thinking.
We’ll look at the benefits of developing the trait of metacognition in your students as well as three of the best ways that any teacher can implement the learning of metacognition in their classroom or program – without the need for tons of PD or a budget increase!
We’ll get a “check up from the neck up” and find out how adopting a GROWTH MINDSET naturally fosters metacognition in children and youth, as well as examining other benefits to transforming a fixed mindset into the growth realm.
We’ll also look at recent research that shows gains in metacognition when students are prompted to reflect on what they don’t understand and what they don’t know.
Lastly, we’ll preview how to wrap your curriculum – no matter what subject – in a metacognition “envelope”, doubling your teaching efficacy and killing two (or more!) birds with one stone.
Check out this week’s episode, and move your students toward academic greatness through the use of METACOGNITION!
