Cognitive Skills refer to a set of mental abilities that enable individuals to process, understand, and apply information. They include critical thinking, problem-solving, memory, attention, and decision-making. Teaching cognitive skills in school is crucial as it equips students with the foundational tools to learn effectively, adapt to new challenges, and succeed in various academic and real-life situations, fostering their intellectual development and lifelong learning abilities.
That’s why Summit Learning emphasizes the development of students’ cognitive skills. Summit created a single, research-based Cognitive Skills Rubric based on feedback from hundreds of educators, and validated by the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE).
