METACOGNITION
School and Personal Development
Using a coaching and mentoring approach, the Swaledale Alliance has worked with 10 local Primary schools over two years to develop metacognitive approaches with pupils. Our Metacognition Lead Teachers have developed a selection of programmes for schools and we are also able to tailor specific sessions to meet the needs of a particular school.
Our programmes are outlined below.
Metacognitive Minds
From the orginal SSIF project has come the “Metacognitive Minds” programme enabling schools to grow their own Lead Teachers with the skills and expertise to implement sustainable development of metacognition. The design of the programme draws on the EEF “Metacognition and Self--regulated learning; seven recommendations for teaching self-regulated learning & metacognition”
The programme is designed to support a small group of between 3 and 6 schools—to ensure a bespoke approach, sustainability and the benefits of cluster observation and peer support

Introducing Metacognitive Minds
This twilight programme is designed to introduce your teaching team to metacognition and its benefits. The session will look at the metacognitive approach to teaching and learning, why it is effective and how to plan your lessons using metacognition.
This programme is designed as a three hour half day/twilight session aimed at the full teaching team and will be held in your school.

Bespoke Programme
The Swaledale Alliance Metacognition SLE team are able to offer varying levels of CPD depending on how familiar your staff are with metacognitive teaching. i.e.
- Half-day introductory session to metacognition that will include some initial starting point resources.
- A full day session which would include an introduction (or planning from the point at which you are with metacognition) followed up with time to support teachers with planning. This would allow staff to work collaboratively with metacognition SLE.
