Supporting All Learners Community of Practice, Spring 2026 Meeting #4

Metacognition and Growth Mindset in Classrooms

Facilitators: Dr. Jeff Chang, SLA, and Dr. Alberto Manzi, SSBS, STEM Ready

In this session, we will delve into the significant connection between metacognition and a growth mindset. Metacognition, which involves reflecting on one's own thought processes, is a strong indicator of academic achievement. By explicitly teaching these skills, educators can contribute to bridging the "metacognitive equity gap," which often plays a role in persistent achievement disparities. This session aims to offer practical methods for integrating metacognitive strategies and growth mindset principles directly into your classroom environment. Come and discover how instructing students on effective learning techniques can help ensure a more equitable learning experience for all.
