Metacognition
Metacognition is the process in which we plan, monitor, and assess one’s own understanding, it required critical awareness of one’s thinking and learning, as well as how we think and learn best. There are many ways to help improve metacognition in the classroom. You can use planning strategies that include K-W-L charts, Think-Pair-Shares, and Jumpstart Journals. To monitor the learning of students, have students actively engage with strategies like Re-teach It and Fish Bowl discussions. The key to metacognition is assessing your own learning, strategies to help improve this important skill include Letters to Future Students, Figurative Transformation, and Photo Captions.
