Document Summary
Metacognitive strategy = taking notes while reading in order to remain engaged: basic metacognitive strategies are, connecting new information to former knowledge, selecting thinking strategies deliberately, planning, monitoring, and evaluating thinking processes. In comparison to other countries, the united states is scoring around average, and there are many outperforming us. We spend the most per student on education, but outcomes are not great. Just not at the rate of some other countries: historically, the data/empirical evidence shows that us is growing and improving. Schooling expansion- the proportion of the population going to school and the number of years attained expanded rapidly over the 20th century: ex. Mimi"s grandpa only was in school until 6th grade, but her dad got a law degree. Reading and math scores are increasing at all levels over time: education in the us is a state and local matter there is lots of variation.
