Another method to teach your student how to use metacognition is by brainstorming together. The child can then use that brainstorming list to tailor an idea from that list to formulate their writing. Teach the brainstorming technique so your child can see their thinking process on paper. 

Another skill you can teach is the art of a well-thought-out argument. Students can argue their stance on why they believe they deserve a specific field trip or why they think they deserved the grade they received. This will help them understand how each step of their process affected the end result. "I received a B on this written assignment because I..." can be a helpful metacognitive tool by teaching them to stop, reflect, and think about ways to improve future assignments. ]]> 2021-09-30 18:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782325360 myrnateramura https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782327952 (1) Planning: Students should think ahead to upcoming assignments and identify the tools and resources they have and will need in order to get the work done. In this stage, they should also set goals for the tasks and develop strategies for achieving those goals. 
(2) Monitoring: During this stage, your student should check in with you (or himself/herself) and report where they might need to adjust their strategies. (Reflection-in-Action)
(3) Evaluating: Here, your student should look back on the work they've done and decide which strategies, tools, resources, and processes worked and which did not.]]> 2021-09-30 18:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782327952 myrnateramura https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782330041 Please post ways you have taught your child how to be a self-directed, motivated learner.

This helps him stay on track by not spending too little or too much time on any one subject. ]]> 2021-09-30 20:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782483655 myrnateramura https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782486385 Transitions work well with our Echo devices. We have an Echo device in each of the rooms my child works in and we have set up reminders for when to transition subjects and when online classes will begin, such as piano, and when we have to leave for in-person classes. ]]> 2021-09-30 20:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782486385 https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782580492 After my jr higher completes his math work, I have him correct it from the teacher's book. This helps him become more aware of his learning process and identify the problems without me having to point them out. Its a win-win for everyone! ]]> 2021-09-30 21:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782580492 https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782728287 I had a student who was overwhelmed with the idea of a research project on Native Americans.  In our meeting, I talked him through it and we brainstormed together. What did they eat? How did they get food? What did they wear? Which natural resources did they use? After taking notes, he did the research and made a beautiful poster-board that he later presented to me. Taking that one overwhelming idea and 'chunking it apart' made him a self-directed and motivated learner! ]]> 2021-09-30 23:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1782728287 karencarpenter https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1842939437 I'm reading The Pearl with one of my students. She decided to set her own goal for finishing the book and talked about some guiding questions to keep her reading. She promised to send the summary of the story and discuss the guiding questions at our next meeting.]]> 2021-10-25 20:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/myrnateramura/f2118h1vyb3p5xrd/wish/1842939437
