Metacognition and Mathematics: Developing Students' Independence

Summary

In its Guidance Report, Improving Mathematics in Key Stages 2 and 3, the EEF suggests that we can help pupils to develop metacognitively, including the ability to independently plan, monitor and evaluate their learning. These sessions will explore how we can best support students to use metacognitive strategies within mathematics.

The PD will aim to:

Consider ways in which we can support students to develop metacognitive thinking
Look at how teaching and modelling strategies can help pupils to develop their approaches to tasks
Use effective questions to develop learners’ reasoning and thinking skills and support self-evaluation

Session dates:

Session 1: Friday 30th January 2026, 9am-12pm

Session 2: Wednesday 11th February 2026, 1pm- 4pm

Your school's commitment to this booking

Involvement in this booking will require substantial commitment and we do need to emphasise this. Expectations between projects will vary slightly, but by signing up you and your school are agreeing to:

Release the named staff to attend all events within the programme.
Give staff the necessary support to undertake school-based activities, gap tasks and improvement work.
Engage well with the opportunities in the programme and, if invited, school-based support.
Give at least 48 hour’s notice if you are no longer able to attend a session you have booked. Failure to notify or cancellation within a 48 hour window of the training date will result in a 100% charge of the course fee. If you are a maintained Leicester City primary school, and accessing the course free of charge, the cancellation cost will be the charge advertised for non-maintained/Leicestershire schools. For non-maintained/Leicestershire schools the advertised charge will apply.

I can confirm that my school is in agreement with the terms outlined above
