This is one of my favorite techniques to help students improve their #IBEcon IAs.
Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing. ✍️ 🤩
Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural—or modest—as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors, a 2022 study found.
ALT Bar chart titled Read Aloud to Improve Writing. "When students were asked to proofread texts aloud, they found up to 12 percentage points more typos, grammatical mistakes, and errors in word choice, a 2022 study found." The bar chart shows the difference between accuracy during silent and aloud reading: silent, 59%, and aloud, 71%.

Metacognition is the foundation for all 16 Habits of Mind. It is thinking about one’s thinking and is essential to the development of social and emotional intelligence.

This is @claudeai01's first attempt at summarizing Paul Black's and my 1998 paper "Assessment and classroom learning"—pretty impressive in my view.

What a wonderful resource to share with Ss and parents. @SChewPsych is giving all Ts and Ss a gift with these study strategy videos. The more Ss know about how to study the more #agency they can take over their #learning. #edchat #cogsci
You'd like a series of videos on optimal studying strategies?
@SChewPsych has you covered:

While some vilify grades, @tguskey makes excellent points and 4 conditions for using grades as feedback to learners. Of course, grades alone are not enough, but they can be part of a robust feedback system for Ss to use to promote #metacognition and academic growth. #assessment
Can grades be an effective form of feedback? Yes!
But only when used in the right way, at the right time, and for the right reasons!

The goal is to create a feedback system that is productive for both the teacher and the student. Here are some tips to help you begin the process!

When explaining, don't use images to *decorate*; use them to *represent core concepts*.

In other words: #dualcoding can reduce working memory load, but only if we do it right.

I am happy to share my first TED talk with the world. I've become passionate about this topic. "It's Time for An Autism Paradigm Shift" It's a small contribution, but this is a growing movement in our increasingly more neurodiverse world. #istafricalearns
