I’m going to begin a new series of posts based on my wiki (Explorience1–Learning to Learn)*. The wiki and the posts are focused on helping middle schoolers become more successful (self-directed, life-long) learners. The framework is based on a set of 7 learning-to-learn skills: Purpose, Operations, Remembering, Teamwork, Action, Laying a Foundation (of content), and Self-Management. P.O.R.T.A.L.S. was designed to help middle school kids open pathways to learning, particularly as they face learning challenges.
Hope you will follow the blog as I explore where these skills came from, why they are important, and how to help kids learn them.
