18、 play a role as a “cognitive coach” to students, helping develop good thinkers among your youth.The best way for you to become a cognitive coach is to seek out and engage school children and adolescents in meaningful conversations. The objective here is to get kids talking about what they think, how

19、 they feel, and what they believe whenever and wherever you may find them. It may be in a classroom. It may be at the grocery store. It may be at a basketball game. It doesnt matter where as long as you engage students in a topical conversation and, hopefully even a debate. Mainly, you want to encou

20、rage students to voice their opinion about things. Get them to take a position on “this thing, or that thing” and ask them to support their position with evidence.

21、 learned in the classroom, and help them create their own knowledge about a subject or a topic.Learning indicates that a student has been exposed to material, understands the material, and can recall the information. Knowledge, on the other hand, goes beyond recall and includes information processin

22、g, application to other situations, consideration of meaning, and contrasting with other concepts. Naturally, the topic of conversation you engage in with one of your learners will differ from student to student, and in the level of complexity based on childs age and developmental level.

28、t on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someones home. The parrot has learned to copy sounds that people make. Birds are not the only animals that can copy the noises they hear.
