The role of cognitive skills to be presented at the annual Indiana Association of School Principals | Assistant Principals Conference in Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, UNITED STATES, November 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Cognitive skills will be the focus of a presentation in Indianapolis on Friday November 18 at the annual Indiana Association of School Principals Assistant Principals Conference. Gregg Goewert, principal of Urey Middle School, Pat Crone, teacher and athletic director at Urey Middle School, and Betsy Hill, President and COO of BrainWare Learning Company, will explore how students have achieved a competitive edge and greater self-confidence by understanding and building stronger cognitive skills. The presentation will take place at the J.W. Marriott, Indianapolis, in the Marriott 3 Room on November 18 at 11:50 am EST.

The presentation will explore how faculty and staff at Urey Middle School in Walkerton Indiana (John Glenn School Corporation) use cognitive assessment data to help them and their students understand how students learn best. In addition to using cognitive assessment data, the students participated in cognitive skills training to help strengthen weaker cognitive skills and further strengthen skills that were already strong. As the students built their learning capacities, their self-confidence increased as well, helping them to better manage stress and realize dramatically improved levels of academic performance.

High expectations go hand in hand; students rise to meet expectations via strong relationships. It’s more important to teach kids “how to learn” as opposed to what to learn. Students can self-regulate their learning, set goals, develop strategies to accomplish goals, and reflect on their performance.” Gregg received his Ed.S. from Indiana State University
