ACTIVATED LEARNERS

Metacognitive-Activated Learners

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.
