Proposal Title
Using Metacognitive Development to Frame Curriculum
Abstract
Educational progress in the United States has been stagnant in reading and mathematics for decades despite increasing federal intervention and oversight. The impact of narrow, biased curriculum standards continues to fail to improve test scores or empower students to aspire to their full potential. This presentation will discuss how the metacognitive processes that underpin human learning and development could be used to develop a more individualized and democratic curriculum for the 21st century.
