How to Teach High School Students Executive Functioning Skills (Johanna Tramantano)


Listen Later

In an earlier episode, we spoke with Stanford University Professor Robyn Brinks Lockwood on how to better prepare high school students for the rigors of college communication and discourse (making presentations/speeches).


In this episode, college professor and former high school ELA teacher Johanna Tramantano also sounds the alarm as it relates to high school students not having the executive functioning skills necessary to thrive in college and career settings.


However, says Tramantano, there are simple practices that K-12 teachers can implement to help students develop not only the communication skills they will need in higher education but the metacognition that students need to direct their own learning.


I hope you will listen in (and subscribe) as we discuss:

- The CONNECT Framework for developing student metacognition in high school and beyond.

- Simple middle and high school classroom practices for student self and peer reflection on learning.

- How best to facilitate student conferences that place the student in the driver's seat.

and

- The gradual release of control over assessment and analysis of learning to students from middle through high school.
