Developing a Superintendent of Curriculum

To heighten critical thinking: that was Cogneeto’s goal from its inception.
It takes highly effectively feedback strategies, like Peer and Self-Assessment, and adapts them to enhance metacognition and slow down the creative process.
The result is not only improved achievement but a collaborative environment that heightens thinking.

Seven Steps
Special Considerations around the
Caution.

Special Considerations around 21st
• There is an influential 21st Century champion risk-taker?
• There is a 21st C plan with a designated leader
• They use language such as:• Inquiry-based Learning, • Project Based –learning, • Creativity & innovation, • Critical thinking etc.
• There are technology initiatives (BYOD, flipped classroom, 1:1, etc.)
• Where is the funding coming from?
• All 21st century solutions have implementation challenges – not always and only around technology. Have these been considered?
• Has the purpose of the pilot been established?
• Is there sufficient training? Is there an opportunity to sell services?
