This webinar will explore what you actually need to know about metacognition. Starting by diving into the rationale for metacognition in the classroom, this webinar will then turn its attention to the theory of metacognition. What is it? What is it not? And what on earth does it look like in the classroom? Through attending this webinar, you will develop your foundational understanding of metacognition, and begin to consider what makes for high-quality metacognitive teaching.
