This week’s reading is rather long and dense. I look forward to groups 3 & 4 breaking it down for us. The video
is also rather long and has lots of information. I have a couple of guiding prompts I would like you to talk to, but
again, if you feel you have a different angle you want to take you may. In a couple of paragraphs write to the
following:
What are “non-cognitive” factors? What are “cognitive” factors? (It’s difficult to define one without the other.
Give some examples of each.
Which of the 5 non-cognitive factors written about in the article do you think is most important to focus on with
yourself? And with your students? Be specific—where do you see your students lacking with concerns to the 5
non-cognitive factors and where do you see yourself lacking?
Explain how you would bring that 1 non-cognitive factor more into your classroom and your own life.
This is a different video than what I initially had on the syllabus, please watch it:

How does what is said in the video connect with what is written in the text?
