What Educators are Saying

"According to what I have learned, my expectation for learners depend on the educators' skills; understanding the architecture of human learning and memory and utilizing different learning and metacognitive skills, will help the educators to go beyond the learning material to develop sophisticated and self-directed learners, by using different learning activities and techniques that improve students skills and support memory storing and retrieving of the information."
Miranda NelsonEducator, COGx Partner School
"I learned that by applying special skills, such as, metacognitive, cognitive and transfer, in my plan for my lessons and in my life in general, I can help students to to become self-directed and sophisticated learners. And that will help them to become leaners all throughout their lives."
