Ability to Apply Knowledge

Students demonstrate the ability to apply their knowledge in new situations and in useful ways (e.g., using a currency conversion formula to determine the price of an object) including retrieving and applying separate strands of retained knowledge as needed to successfully perform tasks (i.e., this is working memory, a critical executive function skill).

Key Belief:

I will be a better student if I act on the following beliefs:

• • I can use what I know to figure out problems and explain situations. 

Application:

• • Provide exercises and projects that let you interpret and apply information. 
  • Retrieve and apply separate strands of retained knowledge as needed to successfully perform tasks.
