I like this poster. Learning psychology is about explaining or outlining a theory, followed by evidence in the form of research, ending with critical evaluative commentary. This will be helpful for students.

Thank you for sharing.

Diane Goodman's curator insight, May 20, 12:39 AM

A useful infographic that not only summarises the attributes of a critical thinker but more significantly, provides a 25 point list of actions teachers can invite students to do in learning activities, to stimulate and develop critical thinking abilities. A great poster for your office wall!

Executive Function your child's air traffic control system: Skills for School and Life - Dr. Dave Walsh

Erin Walsh describes how executive function skills are the foundation of kids' success in school and life.

Via Lou Salza, Lon Woodbury
Lou Salza's curator insight, May 4, 12:48 PM

Good advice and a useful metaphor for EF!-Lou

 

Excerpt:

"...Think of executive function as the brain’s "air traffic controller." Just as the controller needs to keep track of, manage and coordinate dozens of airplane takeoffs and landings on multiple runways so also the brain’s executive function must coordinate the input from multiple brain circuits and systems. There are three domains that make up executive function.

Working memory: This is the brain's desktop. It enables us to retain and use “chunks” of information in our minds over short periods of time.Inhibitory controls: These are the brain's filter and brakes. They enable us to screen out distractions, manage impulses, resist temptations, and prioritize actions.Mental flexibility: This is the brain's gear transmission. It enables us to think outside the box, catch and correct mistakes on the fly, adjust to various settings and expectations, and adapt to new information...."

Fittingly the jobs done here are called "executive function;" the prefrontal area leads the rest of the brain, operating as the mind's manager.
