Metacognition

• Metacognition is the ability to reflect and think about one's learning.
• Metacognition can help students move from a stuck thinking process to being able to face challenges.
• Students can gain self-regulation skills for experiencing unexpected challenges through metacognition.

Discussion Question: How can educators promote student usage of metacognition in their everyday learning?

Mindfulness

• Students who have practiced mindfulness have scored higher on tests and grades.
• Mindfulness can support students in regulating their emotions.
• Mindfulness can help students with their attention to a given task in school.

• A student that is using their problem solving skills are constantly utilizing their ability to self-question.

Discussion Question: What are some other ways that educators can use problem solving to support other subject areas?

Problem-Based Learning

• Students engaged in problem-based learning utilize and grow stronger problem-solving skills.
• Problem-based learning can lead to students performing higher on tests than students who have lecture-style classes.
• Problem-based learning can be cross-disciplinary (reading and social studies) and incorporate STEM concepts.

Differentiation

• Educators can use technology to help communicate with students about their learning needs.
• Offering a variety of resources and forms of resources can help students find what they need to be successful.
