Discover practical strategies for encouraging metacognition to boost thinking and learning, encourage engagement and support examination success. This course provides an excellent next step for teachers who have attended our Active Learning and Assessment for Learning course.
What will I learn?
During the course you will explore the following topics:
- The key elements of theory and research on metacognition
- How to get the most out of a range of practical metacognition strategies

All Cambridge Enrichment courses focus on giving you practical ideas based on academic research.
You will have plenty of time to ask questions and share ideas.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for teachers at secondary or senior level, or school leaders who would like to develop their understanding in this area.
We recommend this course for teachers who are already familiar with the principles of Active Learning. Most will have already attended the Cambridge Active Learning and Assessment for Learning course, but this is not a pre-requisite.
