Metacognition: The High-Impact Strategy That Accelerates Student Learning
Research is clear: when we explicitly teach metacognition—the skill of noticing, managing, and directing our own thinking—students learn more, across every subject and every year level (Baker, 2013; Dunlosky & Metcalfe, 2009; Hattie, 2009; Wang, Haertel, & Walberg, 1993).
Teaching students to “drive their own brain” gives them practical, powerful tools to understand how they learn best and take charge of their progress.
This workshop focuses on the high‑impact strategies that help students plan, monitor, and reflect so they become confident, strategic, independent learners.
Core Topics:
• What metacognition is — and why it matters for every learner
• How metacognition boosts learning across subjects and year levels
• The ‘how’ and ‘why’ of teaching students about brain plasticity
• Powerful metacognitive strategies you can teach your students
• How to explicitly teach metacognitive strategies in any classroom
• How to coach students to use these strategies independently
• Essential metacognitive questions students can use to guide their learning
