The principles of self-regulated learning can be applied to student behaviour: this set of ten (colour & double-sided) printable worksheets fosters student reflection during detentions and other behavioural interventions. They’re ideal for: Detentions resulting from disruptive classroom conduct Students who have been sent to members of the leadership team for supervision Behavioural interventions with students who have persistent issues with behaviour Each worksheet includes a variety of reflection tasks and concludes with a space allowing for targets for improvements to be set by the student and reviewed by the teacher or supervisor in charge of their behavioural intervention. Note: we have included both US & UK English spelling versions in this download due to the number of times the word ‘Behaviour’/‘Behavior’ is used! We hope this will be useful for our nternational customers, members and supporters. Copyright The Global Metacognition Institute (2019)

The quiz also includes a word-search (on screen) and a couple of anagram rounds. Fifty of the questions are all Christmas-related and not connected to a specific school-subject: the final ten are subject specific and deal either with GCSE terminology of “fun facts”. Differentiation can easily be achieved by changing quiz group sizes. The quiz is suitable for KS3-5. Completing and peer-marking the 60-question quiz should take the best part of a 1-hour lesson.

The focus of the these teacher-training resources is simple: metacognitive teaching strategies, metacognition & self-regulated learning. These easy to use resources are perfect for Continued Professional Development (CPD) and are designed for in-house training, inset days and general teacher education. As with our other resources, the training materials are aimed at teaching professionals working with students aged 11-16 though they are also useful for those teaching students in further education. This full CPD resource contains eight CPD training sessions: An Introduction to Metacognition & Self-Regulated Learning Teaching Activities & Strategies for Metacognition & Self-Regulated Learning Using Debates & Discussions for Metacognition & Self-Regulated Learning Subject-Specific & Departmental Metacognitive Strategies Growth Mindset, Self-Regulated Learning & Boosting Brain Power Skills for Learning, Metacognition & Self-Regulation Long-Term Strategies for Metacognition & Self-Regulation Metacognition & DIRT - Dedicated Improvement & Reflection Time Each session is designed to last for at least 2 hours: we wanted to include more than enough for 2 hour teacher training sessions so that those delivering the lessons can ‘cut their cloth accordingly’ and adapt resources and timings according to their will. Ideally you should assign different teachers to deliver the different sessions so as to make the training more immersive, interactive, and varied. Each session includes a session-plan (akin to a lesson-plan) which provides a rough guide to timings and activities for the session leader. We advise delivering the sessions in the order presented above. This is a comprehensive training pack and includes everything you need for a 3-4 day inset. Please note: unlike the enhanced edition, this download does not include additional teaching resources and only includes the teacher-training materials. We offer a range of whole-school metacognition resources that aim to enhance metacognitive skills and strategies in students aged 11-16. You can download individual resources or buy our ‘Whole School Metacognition Toolkits’ that make establishing a whole-school metacognition initiative easy. Our resources specialise in: Boosting Learning-Power Teaching Metacognitive Skills & Strategies Increasing Metacognitive Power (Intelligence, Memory etc.) These resources are made and distributed in partnership with The Global Metacognition Institute.
