Donna explains how to give students time and confidence to build their metacognition skills: edut.to/46Ut3Oq #CriticalThinking #SpecialEducation #MiddleSchool #HighSchoolTeacher
“In my high school special education classroom, I like to recognize students’ effort in the lead-up to final outcomes. Not in a vague ‘You tried your best’ sort of way—more so appreciating the intentional choices that help students push ahead. For the last half-decade or so, I’ve called these small wins ‘the moves that mattered.’” —Donna Phillips, Educator
