Metacognition

This week I have been thinking and reading about metacognition, because of the EEF report ( see link above). 

Some ideas to think about, that the EEF suggest...

1. Which explicit strategies can you teach your pupils to help them plan, monitor, and evaluate specific aspects of their learning? 
2. How can you give them opportunities to use these strategies with support, and then independently?
3. How can you ensure you set an appropriate level of challenge to develop pupils’ self-regulation and metacognition in relation to specific learning tasks?
4. In the classroom, how can you promote and develop metacognitive talk related to your lesson objectives? 
5. What professional development is needed to develop your knowledge and understanding of these approaches? Have you considered professional development interventions which have been shown to have an impact in other schools?
