What is “The Forgotten Secret to Leadership Success”? Donna and I
provide the answer at our blog post appearing on the School Leaders Now
website.
The forgotten secret is metacognition—thinking
about thinking—which London neuroscientist Stephen Fleming confirms may
be the most powerful tool that professionals such as educational
leaders can use to question, monitor, and adjust their thinking as a
means of driving action toward achieving goals.
Teachers
can work together in using metacognition to improve their teaching
practice too. By reflecting on best practices together, teachers can
increase their opportunities for being more effective educators—both
individually and collectively.
