Cognitive skills include all the information-processing and thinking skills, often called “study skills” in a school
environment.
Affective skills are the skills of behaviour and emotional management underpinning attitudinal factors such as
resilience, perseverance and self-motivation, which often have a large role to play in educational achievement.
Metacognitive skills are the skills that students can use to monitor the effectiveness of their learning skills and
processes, to better understand and evaluate their learning.
Activity:
• In pairs, use the example of a medical doctor diagnosing a patient with a rare disease. What
cognitive, metacognitive, and affective skills would the doctor require in order to effectively perform
this task? Create a mind-map to share with the group.
• Explicit
• Deliberate
• Visible

Read:
• Break into groups of three and divide the articles
• Briefly summarize three major points from your article
• Share your ideas with the group
Discuss:
• What connections are there between your article and the deliberate teaching of approaches to learning skills?
• What insights did you gain about the importance of explicitly teaching approaches to learning skills?
• What do you see as the most important competencies for the 21st century workplace?
• Do you feel the current education system is adequately preparing students for the workplace of the future?
Activity:
"Given access to the same facts, how is it possible that there can be
disagreement between experts in a discipline? Develop your answer
with reference to two areas of knowledge.”
• With your partner, create a visual map represent your thinking. You will share your
map during a “gallery walk”. Consider the following:
Examples of visible thinking routines from Harvard Project Zero (Ritchhart et al, 2011)
Connect, extend, challenge Generate-sort-connect-elaborate I used to think ... now I think ...
(routine to help students make (concept mapping routine) (routine to help effective reflection
connections between old knowledge on how and why their thinking has
and new knowledge) changed)
Examples:
• Volunteering at a soup kitchen
• Advocating for a cause of global concern
• Organizing a charity soccer tournament
What is the relationship between control and time? How can this
relationship be challenging and/or rewarding? In pairs, create a visual metaphor
to explain your thinking. Share your metaphor with the group.
In groups of four, brainstorm goal setting and time managements strategies you have used in the
classroom, or that are used in the greater school community. Share your ideas with the group.
Read the following article and highlight what you feel are the essential
learnings. Share your thoughts with a small group.
• Resilience What did I do well? What did I not do well? What can I learn for next time? Mistakes are a
good opportunity to learn.
• Self motivation What do I want to achieve with this unit? What challenges will I face? How can I
overcome them? What is my learning journey? What is my goal?
• Mindfulness How do I feel today? How can I manage the demands of today? What will help me right
now? I can’t control the past or the future but I can make a good choice right now.
Group together with teachers from your discipline, and identify three
relevant research skills explicitly taught in your subject. How do these
skills transfer to the EE or RP process? What model does your school use
to support students during the EE or RP process?
