Course Description

Metacognitive-supportive teaching has the greatest effect on learning. Metacognition is about active learning. Metacognitive teaching strategies enable students to take a greater role in their learning, enhancing intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and ultimately, achievement. The best learners are metacognitive. All students can improve their metacognitive approach to learning.

But how is this taught? Reinvigorate your teaching with pragmatic professional development that explores a synthesis of factors that make a difference.

Nine Units:

  • Thinking
  • Curiosity

  • Prompts
  • Verbalisation
  • Peer teaching
  • Reflection
  • Writing
  • Flow
