Research School Network: Metacognition & self-regulated learning: Essex Schools programme ‘Metacognitive strategies’ get pupils to think about their own learning.

Evidence suggests the use of these strategies can be worth the equivalent of an additional 7 months’ progress when used well. 

The potential impact of these approaches is very high, particularly for disadvantaged pupils. But less is known about how to apply them effectively in the classroom.

This new programme for Essex schools (all phases) will help you to explore the evidence about this important topic. 

It will support you to put the evidence into action in classrooms and improve pupils’ learning. 

The programme focuses specifically on the needs of disadvantaged pupils.

We look forward to meeting you online in spring/​summer 2023.
