Metacognition

Developing Metacognitive Practices

At start, mid and end of semester have students do a self-assessment of learning skills. See posters link

On back of unit handout have 'checklist' of objectives/skills for students to self-assess as we do the unit, and as a study aid for tests.

Do more think-alouds for concepts such as balancing equations or using physics formulas.
