Thinking about Thinking by Susan Sambuceti https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw What do I notice? en-us 2016-10-25 03:40:32 UTC 2025-11-02 16:58:24 UTC hello@padlet.com As a shy and introverted child, I observed others and learned about myself as well. Though I didn't know the term for my thinking was called metacognition, I did use the metacognitive processes frequently. I remember first learning the term in college courses. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186477 2016-10-25 22:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186477 https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186494 When were you first aware of your own metacognition?
In third grade I started comparing my thinking to the thinking of others.]]> 2016-10-25 22:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186494 I found it interesting that ages 12-15 are critical times for developing metacognition.  This is a developmentally appropriate target. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186563 2016-10-25 22:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186563 I don't think I knew or fully understood what metacognition was until college. It was an a-ha moment into how I could learn to be a better critical thinker. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186581 2016-10-25 22:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186581 What do you notice about your students who have executive function (or don’t)? These kids have organizational challenges. Often times they are frozen in their thinking. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186632 2016-10-25 22:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186632 Adults can facilitate the development of a child’s executive function skills by establishing routines, modeling social behavior, and creating and maintaining supportive, reliable relationships. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186804 2016-10-25 22:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186804 When were you first aware of your own metacognition? https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186834
*At a very early age.  *I wrote in a diary at an early age.  *Very verbal, with myself or with others at an early age. 

 @Birth order makes a difference.  As the 5th of 7, I never had to talk, think, or "do' anything on my own.  @I tend to quietly process, then add details where necessary.]]> 2016-10-25 22:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186834 At a very early age. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186916 2016-10-25 22:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186916 It helps when we know our own learning styles and those of our students, to help them find the best methods to study and succeed https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186996 2016-10-25 22:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133186996 A student who is excited about being in the driver's seat and steering toward learning success may well be destined to become an independent thinker on the way to charting a responsible course for school, career, and life.  https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187199 2016-10-25 22:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187199 Students with Executive Function don't need to be spoon fed information.  They anticipate the next step in the learning process for class activities. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187217 2016-10-25 22:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187217 What do you notice about your students’ metacognitive abilities? https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187354 * Some students process quickly while others are still getting items out of the backpack.  The quick-processor is already on step 2 while the backpack fiddler is just starting  step 1.
@Same as above. ]]> 2016-10-25 22:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187354 The more consistency we have with routines, the more we help students with low executive function. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187530 2016-10-25 22:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187530 Students with Executive Functions Skills tend to have more involved parents https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187555 2016-10-25 22:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133187555 I've been practicing my organization for as long as I can remember.  My parents never checked my homework or made sure it was completed. https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133189096 2016-10-25 23:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ssambuceti/yv5tjkde8tmw/wish/133189096
