This event introduces you to the principles of metacognition and provides practical advice on how to develop pupils' metacognitive skills and knowledge in conjunction with specific subject content.

Evidence from the Education Endowment Trust suggests the use of ‘metacognitive strategies’ – which get pupils to think about their own learning - can be worth the equivalent of an additional +7 months’ progress when used well.

This course enables teaching staff to:

● understand what is meant by metacognitive and self-regulation skills and why they are so valuable for developing learners

● build in strategies for improving pupils’ ability to set goals, monitor performance and evaluate outcomes

● develop strategies for improving pupils’ motivation and ability to learn independently

● identify different approaches to try out and explore what works for pupils

Cost includes VAT which may be recovered by schools

£25 plus VAT

The event cost is inclusive of applicable VAT. Schools should be able to recover VAT from HMRC so the cost to your school should be the pre-VAT figure. If in doubt, please check with your finance manager.

Payment is required at the time of booking by credit card, debit card or Paypal. A VAT invoice will be sent to you automatically by email.

Refunds

No refunds will be given with less than 30 days notice.

In the event of a refund request, please note that the Eventbrite booking fee of 6.5% plus 0.49p per ticket is not refundable.

To keep our event fees as low as possible, we are not able to issue manual invoices for later payment by cheque or bank transfer and we are not able to reserve places without payment.

We strongly recommend that you take out 'event ticket insurance' which may cover the cost of your fee should you be unable to attend the event.
