The ability to use metacognition is one of the characteristics of high-achieving students and a key skill that all students can learn. In this webinar, based on Donna Wilson and Marcus Conyers’ ASCD book, Teaching Students to Drive Their Brains: Strategies, Activities, and Lesson Ideas, teachers and leaders will learn how they can teach students to drive their brains.
The authors will discuss a practical framework for helping school-age students across all grade levels and content areas become metacognitive learners. Wilson and Conyers’ research-based methods are tried and true and have been refined through work with tens of thousands of teachers over the past 20 years. You will learn how this approach helps teachers experience more joy as they teach so that students have more “aha” moments. Participate in this webinar and take away some brain-based teaching strategies you will enjoy learning and using!
