Learning Mindsets & Skills

High Tech High Graduate School of Education examines learning mindsets and skills through explanation, measurement and reflective dialogue. It suits educators and learners interested in how learning behavior is understood and discussed. The emphasis on assessment invites careful consideration of what a measure captures and what it may miss about a learner’s context.

• Use reflection and dialogue.

Who this suits

Learners and educators interested in the relationship between learning behavior, assessment and reflection.

Before you enroll

Use the techniques with material you actually need to understand. Compare delayed recall and application with your starting point, rather than judging a session by how familiar the notes feel. Results depend on subject, practice and circumstances; no grade or learning-speed guarantee is implied.

Put it into practice
