Metacognition; supporting teachers and learners as thinkers

Thinking is the basis for learning, and learning allows for better thinking. This reciprocal relationships is lived out in how we teacher, and how learners engage and sustain progress. This keynote will draw on evidence that extends our understanding of the current EEF research and guidance, drawing a short history of teaching thinking skills, and celebrating how teachers have worked collaboratively to develop effective practices. To bring this short history up to date evidence from the Swaledale Alliance Metacognition SSIF project will be shared, allowing a discussion of contemporary challenges and opportunities for change.
