Embedding Metacognition Across the Curriculum
Support pupils to become more independent, reflective learners by weaving metacognitive strategies into everyday teaching across all subjects.
Metacognition is one of the most powerful (and cost-effective) ways to improve learning — but many staff aren’t sure how to implement it practically. This course helps teachers and support staff build pupil self-awareness, strategy use and reflection into lessons without disrupting curriculum flow.
What This Training Helps Your Team to Do
- Understand what metacognition is — and isn’t
- Help pupils plan, monitor and evaluate their own learning
- Integrate metacognitive talk into questioning and feedback
- Use subject-specific strategies that improve outcomes
- Create a culture of reflective, self-regulated learners
