Metacognitive Learning Dos & Don'ts - The Role of the Teacher in a Blended Learning Classroom by Edgenuity
Metacognitive Learning Dos
- Do set clear goals and expectations at the start. The most difficult thing about teaching anyone to learn is understanding that learning itself is learned. Setting expectations for everything from coursework to time management helps keep everyone on track.
- Do understand that cyber learning is not for everybody. Personalized learning is just that: personal. Some students require a more traditional approach, and that’s fair.
Metacognitive Learning Don’ts
- Don’t expect every student to embrace learning immediately. Particularly with students who have struggled with school all their lives, everything related to learning is a challenge. Thinking about thinking and understanding how we learn is a challenge for even the best students.
- Don’t staff only with teachers. While teachers are essential to the model, consider the need for other adults and mentors to form relationships with students—counselors, experts in sociology and psychology, and those able to identify student struggles and successes
