This session will help you understand the evidence base around self-regulated learning. Helping learners to develop skills of cognition and metacognition are two linked ideas that have been shown to be effective at raising outcomes in disadvantaged students.

In this first session we will consider the evidence behind cognition and look at the challenges of developing this in learners in all phases and provide practical solutions for the classroom.

This session will help you to understand how cognition moves on to metacognition and will consider the evidence behind this important strategy. As in the previous session, we look at practical solutions for the classroom. You will also have chance to consider your own context and whether there is a shared understanding of metacognition and how you could move forward with this with other colleagues.

This session will look at the importance of vocabulary at the transition between primary and secondary. Using data from a Leeds University project we will see the change in the volume of words, but also in the meaning of words in different contexts. There will be practical strategies for classroom practitioners and schools to consider their support of the academic transition. The session is for both primary and secondary colleagues.
