This unit explores how you might build the habit of Meta Learning in your pupils.
Sections 1 – 4 look at;
- Meta Learning and how it develops. The Progression Chart. Unpick the meaning of Meta Learning, how it develops over time and use the Meta Learning chart to plot where your pupils are now.
- Taking Meta Learning into classroom culture. Classroom Activities. Offers numerous suggestions to develop a Meta Learning friendly culture and build pupils’ Meta Learning skills.
- Blending Meta Learning with content. Example dual focused lesson. Suggests a series of questions and steps you might use to ensure the development of Meta Learning claims its place in the curriculum and is designed into lesson/activities to aid understanding.
- Team reflection and planning. Share the impact of your experiments with colleagues and plan what you need to do next.
The resource materials in the Learning Diary: Meta Learning help you to distil important messages, home in on the key bits of information and design learning experiments specifically for you.
You will probably need to spend over an hour on sections 1-3. Section 1 may take about 20 minutes to get your head round. Section 2 should take you about 20 minutes to browse through Section 3 needs at least a half an hour hard thinking and head-scratching. Section 4 is a linked Professional Learning Team session which will have been organised to take place sometime after this on-line session, and should take about 75 minutes.
