STRATEGIC LEARNING Gr 9 (#6505)
STRATEGIC LEARNING Gr 9 (#6505)
This course is intended to create strategic learners from students who have been unsuccessful academically in a high school course or state assessment. The basic understandings will stimulate students to think about their overall approach to learning but will primarily focus on mathematical learning. These basic understandings will include identifying errors in the thinking and learning process, input errors, physiological concerns, and key cognitive skills. The essential knowledge and skills will foster a deeper understanding of the task of learning mathematical concepts. Use of personal data and statistical analysis will establish relevance and aid in creation of individualized learning plans. Required for students who did not pass the STAAR 8th Math and/or who did not pass Grade 8 Math.
