Course Overview

Welcome to EDUO 9824 Cognitive Transfer. This class was created by Dominican University of California in conjunction with Educational Development and Services as part of a seven-course series entitled Core Thinking Skills. This series is designed to help teachers learn strategies that will significantly improve their ability to teach the Common Core State Standards.

The content learned in the class, Cognitive Transfer, will prepare you to teach your students how to transfer learning from one setting to another, allowing the information to be used in various school disciplines and real-life scenarios. To do this, learned information must be synthesized into an overall meaning or category, appropriately generalized into other contexts, and applied to new situations. By meeting the requirements of this class, participating teachers will earn one semester unit of graduate-level extension credit from Dominican University of California, a fully accredited university. The other six courses in the series are:

  • EDUO 9825 Creative Thinking
  • EDUO 9826 Complex Thinking
  • EDUO 9827 Comprehensive Thinking
  • EDUO 9828 Collaborative Thinking
  • EDUO 9829 Communicative Thinking
  • EDUO 9830 Critical Thinking

All seven courses in the Core Thinking Skills series require the same book titled How to Teach Thinking Skills Within the Common Core by James Bellanca, Robin Fogarty, & Brian Pete. This book is available for purchase at  www.amazon.com.

Course Objectives:
