Meta Cognition and Self-Advocacy
Students who struggle in school are often very receptive to understanding their individual learning styles: where they have strengths, what are their weaknesses, and which strategies help them become successful in school.
This HSWOW webinar will focus on different ways to teach students about their learning profiles and how to communicate this information. We will look at strategies that are effective with students who struggle with language, memory, attention, higher order thinking and how to help these students become self-advocates of their learning needs.
