Disorderly Contexts: ELAC Conference 2024

Students learn best by regularly utilizing meta-cognitive strategies to help process their thinking. When students use words, pictures, and symbols to represent their understanding and to reflect on the hefty concepts that they are presented within their daily classroom spaces, they are more likely to retain ideas and apply their learning later. While a significant portion of this full-day session will focus on making various types of journals from scratch, much of our attention will be on showing how teachers can apply meta-cognitive journal writing strategies in the courses they teach. In the end, all attendees will be able to develop skills for utilizing meta-cognitive strategies in their respective classrooms, regardless of the subject area they teach.

Please note: This is a two-part session and participants must plan to attend both parts.
