11/14/12 Meeting (#5)

21st Century Goals Sheet (from Leah)

Topic: Self-Direction ("Definition" below)

Self Direction (Reading, Writing, and Communicating)

Students who read, write, and communicate independently portray self-direction by using metacognition skills. These important skills are a learner’s automatic awareness of knowledge and ability to understand, control, and manipulate cognitive processes. These skills are important not only in school but throughout life, enabling the student to learn and set goals independently.
