1. Explain five strategies that you can use to promote metacognition in learning

 

• Teach students how their brains are wired for growth.
• Give students practice recognizing what they don’t understand.
• Provide opportunities to reflect on coursework.
• Have students keep learning journals.
• Use a “wrapper” to increase students’ monitoring skills.

2.     Consider your own teaching philosophy. What is your metaphor for teaching and learning?
