Teaching Students to Drive Their Brain

Research suggests that metacognition is key to higher student achievement, but studies of classroom practice indicate that few students are taught to use metacognition and the supporting cognitive strategies that make learning easier. This book, published in conjunction with ASCD, empowers teachers with a practical and motivational approach toward metacognition that will help all students become better learners.

Featuring a unique blend of useful metaphors, learning strategies, and instruction tips that teachers can use to incorporate metacognitive strategies into their classrooms, the book sets forth a practical way for teaching pre-K through 12th-grade students how to drive their own brains and improve their ability to learn.
