How To Harness Metacognitive Decision-Making

May 15, 2007

To organize a homeschool co-op requires an awesome team of innovative planners. The e-mails keep flying as we attempt to generate dynamic problem-solving strategies. Our goal for the fall semester is to orchestrate learning intensive experiences that will encourage real-world critical thinking in our upper-level students, while at the same time maximizing developmentally- appropriate enrichment for our preschool and elementary communities.

Now you, too, can talk just like a school system bureaucrat with this handy-dandy Educational Jargon Generator. Have fun!

    This list will be helpful in lots of areas! I created a list like this when I was a nursing administrator and had to produce 20+ annual reviews/year….all long answer/essay style, addressing 12 key components of performance. Looks like I was reinventing the wheel!

    Thanks for sharing, Denise!

    So there can be a practical use for this? Nice!
