Cognitive Skills for the Future

Posted by Sandy Berger on April 29th, 2009

I just read Betsy Hill’s BrainWare Bulletin. in which she quoted Dr. Patricia Wolfe, a new member of their advisory board. To paraphrase, Dr. Wolfe said that the world of technology and the world in general, is moving so fast that what we teach kids from textbooks today will be outdated before they can use it. To her this means that the best thing we can do for our kids is to teach them enduring knowledge rather than facts. If we teach them cognitive skills they will be able to solve future problems, no matter what they are.

I think she is right….let’s train our children s brains. And while we are at it, let’s train our own brains. I am still using BrainWare Safari and it is also the perfect software program for children and grandchildren because it teaches cognitive skills and a gamut of other brain skills.

    Hi Sandy,

    I’m impressed with your web site and will make regular visits now that I’ve discovered it. Thanks for your endorsement of BrainWare. You hit the nail right on the head with your assessment! I wish I knew how to get educators off the stardardized test scores bandwagon and focusing on cognitive skills. I try but I really appreciate the help of people like you.
