This practical, evidence-informed course is designed for primary teachers (KS1–KS2) and explores how to effectively develop metacognitive skills in children to support deeper, more independent learning. Drawing on research from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), Daniel Willingham and tools like Walkthrus, the session unpacks what metacognition is, why it matters and how it can be embedded across the curriculum without disrupting classroom flow.
Teachers will examine the core components of metacognitive knowledge and regulation, discover tools such as ‘think aloud’ modelling, KWL grids, sentence stems and structured self-questioning, and consider how these can be tailored for different subjects and learners, including those with SEND. The course also includes time for reflection and discussion, helping teachers identify what they already do well and plan next steps to build a consistent culture of metacognitive thinking across their school.
