Reactivate Prior Knowledge & Ready Students for Learning √ § Ͼ

In this session we’ll discuss how to have intentional conversations with students about integrating and enriching their knowledge as they return from summer breaks, jobs, and classes. How can you help your students analyze their prior knowledge so they can affirm learning gains and pinpoint areas that need attention? How can you empower students to self-regulate and connect and synthesize learning from before, during, and after the summer? We’ll explore teaching practices such as cognitive wrappers that can reconnect students to prior or concurrent learning, knowledge probes that can help students recognize what they know and don’t know, and reflections to help them access, process, and affirm their learning. These techniques can activate students’ prior learning for new purposes while identifying gaps in knowledge, skills, and abilities.
