Summary

This course is for participants from all schools.

Schools from Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Northampton should book onto course RK198 A210.

This is session 3 of 6.

Thinking Moves A – Z is a vocabulary of 26 types of thinking. The Moves are understandable, comprehensive and memorable. They make metacognition simple for teachers and learners, bringing big benefits in school and everyday life.

 

Our thinking ability is what makes us distinctively human.  Yet we have no generally accepted approach to teaching thinking – and no common vocabulary to describe different ways of thinking.  This, when you think about it, is extraordinary.  Imagine trying to teach or learn maths if we did not have commonly accepted terms such as add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Thinking Moves A – Z  provides a vocabulary for thinking.  The moves themselves are not new – we all use them in our learning and our life every day.  But now we have a way of talking about how we think, and that gives us a means to work on improving the effectiveness of our thinking. 

Metacognition Made Simple

Research by the Education Endowment Foundation has shown that effective strategies for metacognition and self-regulation:

·        Have consistently high levels of impact;

·        Are better when taught in collaborative groups so that learners can support each other and make their thinking explicit through discussion;

·        Require pupils to take greater responsibility for their learning;

·        Can be particularly effective for low achieving and disadvantaged pupils.

Thinking Moves A – Z supports every step of the EEF’s recommended framework for metacognition and self-regulated learning.

Our Foundation course on Thinking Moves A – Z, helps teachers:

·        Become familiar with Thinking Moves A – Z

·        Understand how to build Thinking Moves into the curriculum

·        Understand how Thinking Moves can enrich inquiry based learning

·        Get practical advice on how to embed Thinking Moves into your school’s teaching and learning
