Metacognitive-Activated learners create their own ideas, strategies and routines to kick-start, initiate and sustain their own learning. They persist even in the face of early failure and develop a strong sense of learner resilience.

These Learners know and can articulate:

• Plans for tackling new learning
• Strategies they can use to solve problems
• Their own progress towards achieving a learning target
• How they use feedback to improve their work
• What they will do next time to improve performance.

This course provides an opportunity for teachers to work collaboratively, sharing and exploring a range of metacognitive awareness building strategies for students across all grades and ability levels. Participants will be able to:

• Define metacognition and understand its impact on reading skills development and thinking generally
• Support students to understand and recognise their own metacognitive thinking
• Plan for and deliver explicit instruction using a range of strategies that help students become metacognitive.

WHO SHOULD ENROL? Teachers and Leaders.
