Angela Watson's Truth for Teachers

EP336 4 routines to help students notice and adjust their thinking


Listen Later

Metacognition — "thinking about your thinking" — is one of the most powerful skills we can teach students, and it doesn't require adding anything new to your already packed schedule. In this episode, you'll learn four simple, one-minute routines you can weave into your daily classroom flow to help students notice, analyze, and adjust their own thinking.

We'll explore:

How to use attention checks so students can redirect focus in the moment

Why brain break signals teach learners to connect physical energy with mental clarity (and how to manage them without chaos)

How mistake moments reframe errors as valuable information

A fresh take on end-of-day brain checks that builds awareness of learning strategies, not just content recall

Whether you teach kindergarteners or high school seniors, you'll walk away with concrete ideas for creating a classroom culture where students take ownership of their learning process.

Plus, I'll share how my Finding Flow Solutions K–12 curriculum can give you ready-made, no-prep lessons to teach these skills — and where to grab your free downloadable sample lesson.
