AGENDA

• Slides
• Partner Discussion:

  • What does it take to learn a new skill? A new concept or idea?
  • What makes something challenging to learn?
  • How do you adapt to those challenges?
• Read "The Key to Learning: Knowing how Learning Works". Stop and jot – Write down responses to these in your notebook/paper and be prepared to share them with your group. 
  1. What does the line “It’s not just what you know. It’s what you know about what you know” mean to you?
  2. What strategies HAVE you learned that help assist learning and completing school assignments?
  3. What are "metacognitive strategies”? Why do you think they help promote learning and success in school?
