Success in learning at the highest levels requiring awareness of one's own thought processes is sometimes called executive function or metacognition. Metacognition enables students to self-monitor, self-evaluate, self-correct, and self-direct to acquire new knowledge and skills, make better choices, set goals and achieve them. We believe that teaching metacognitive skills to students is essential to the generalization of new behaviors and learning.WhatWe OfferSheinker Educational Services provides a variety of services to improve educational outcomes.
