|
A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FRAMEWORK FOR MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL AND PERFORMANCE!
We upgrade nearly everything in life - cell phones, cars, houses, shoes, clothes, jobs, jewelry, furniture, and etc. So why not a Cognitive Upgrade? This book draws from the author's professional experience as a K-12 teacher and administrator in urban schools, and most recent experience in teacher education at the university level. Cognitive theory is highlighted from a practitioner's standpoint. The Cognitive Upgrade (C-Up) framework is an innovative approach to transforming practice, mindsets, and pedagogical spaces in 21st century classrooms. The academic language and content is applicable to pre-service candidates, in-service teachers, researchers, and parents. The uniqueness of the book is highlighted through Tech Connects, Cognitive Tasks, and Q&As with eleven practitioners whose work directly impacts youth. Within these pages, you will also find: • Creative and inspiring approaches to learning • Research and empirical studies • Turnkey techniques for accelerating achievement • Self-help strategies • College, career, and real-world application • Celebrity voices in support of education • Information about trauma and social emotional learning • Personal anecdotes from the author Essential components of a Cognitive Upgrade include Beliefs and Expectations, Motivation and Action, Competence and Problem-Solving, Competition and Innovation, and Persistence and Resilience. This book will immediately enhance potential and performance in students as they strive towards greater academic and personal success. |
