Wednesday, December 21st, 2016 | Thinking Routines

Today is about Metacognition.  We are all a part of this intellectual community and we encourage you to take that mentality out beyond our walls.  It translates well to the professional world.  The one thing that many of the professionals always come back and tell us after interacting with our students is their level of questioning and thinking.  Why let this falter at our own Exhibitions?  Engage your audience in thinking and as an audience member, engage in the intellectual community.
