Apprenticing Students into a Way of Thinking
Three strategies can help students become future-proof problem-solvers.
"...When students become problem-solvers, they become future-proof. We see this as much more than future-ready. Future-proof students know how to learn, and they know what they still need to learn. They also know they'll be faced with a variety of challenges and that they'll need to rally resources and figure out ways to meet those challenges. Over time, and with practice, they will become quicker at problem-solving to the point that it will become a skill they own and can transfer across time and space. That's when we are rewarded.
But hope isn't a plan. We cannot simply hope that students become problem-solvers; we need to offer intentional and targeted instruction that builds their skills. Learners need teachers to guide their strategic thinking - which is much more purposeful, slow, and conscientious than everyday thinking - so that this mode of thinking becomes enshrined as habit."
