Did you realise just how much work goes into learning to learn?!
Metacognition is defined as having an awareness of your own thought processes.
In this, across school we are learning how to think about our own learning more explicitly. To do this we are exploring specific strategies for planning, monitoring, and evaluating our learning.
So far we have explored:
– how metacognition fits into our School Aims:
– how metacognition fits into our School Values and Curriculum Drivers:
From this we have explicitly explored:
– The importance and power of being able to ask effective questions
– the purpose of questions
– The importance of being responsible for our own learning. Identifying our strengths and how we can learn in different ways – variety is the spice of life!
– The importance of trying to improve and consider what and how you can do this
