To encourage reflection on how to boost metacognitive powers
To practice metacognitive skills (such as independent learning & research skills)
To increase vocabulary relating to metacognition and learning-power
To instill a ‘growth mindset’
To cause students to reflect on how they learn best

Metacognition and philosophy go hand-in-hand because metacognition involves thinking deeply about the nature of thought, learning, knowledge & the mind. For this reason we have put together a comprehensive whole-school philosophy resource whose sole purpose is to make students think deeply about life.
This product comprises twenty philosophical debate and discussion sessions, the following topics are covered:
Animal Rights & Caring for Animals
Art & The Nature of Beauty
Big Issues in Politics
British Values
Caring For The Environment
Celebrating Other Cultures & Religions
Christian Philosophy & Ethics
Citizenship
Computers, Robots & Artificial Intelligence
Epistemology
Ethics & Morality
Friendship, Exclusion & Bullying
Literacy, Reading & The Value of Literature
Metaphysics & The Nature of Reality
Moral & Spiritual Development
Space, Aliens & The Universe
The Biggest Questions in Philosophy
The Philosophy of History
The Philosophy of Maths
“Who Am I?” & The Philosophy of Identity
We hope this collection covers all of the bases in relation to the main fields and central debates of philosophy.
Each session features a variety of debate and discussion prompts. The ‘Philosophy Boxes Method’ presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities: each uses 1 of 8 different formats. The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson.
There are 10 different plenary/assessments slides to choose from: an integrated menu means teachers can switch to and from AfL tasks easily and at any time. The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design makes these sessions highly flexible: each PowerPoint file can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity. Most sessions can be used multiple times.
This is an ideal resource to bring P4C (Philosophy for Children) into your school: the range of topics means there’s ‘something for every one’ and that the cross-curricular connections are very broad.
We hold that engaging students in philosophical discussion, debates and thinking is one of the best ways to enhance their critical-thinking skills and Higher-Order Thinking Skills: the metacogntive benefits of philosophy in schools should not be underestimated!
This substantial resource has two main components:
A set of 10 video-learning sessions, each with its own specific worksheet
A seperate set of 10 double-sided video-learning worksheets that can be used with any videos and documentaries in all school subjects.
The first component covers the following topics, all of which relate to metacognition and learning-power:
Introduction to Metacognition
Building Memory Palaces
How to Improve Concentration
Mind-Mapping & Effective Note-Taking
How to Improve Memory
Revision Tips, Tricks & Strategies
Increasing Motivation & Energy
Critical Thinking & Higher-Order Thought
Boosting Learning Power (Video-Learning Session)
How Emotions Can Impact Learning
Each one comprises a full learning-session that can last 40-60 minutes and contains integrated assessments and plenaries. The sessions contain links to YouTube videos: this means that an active internet connection is required for teachers to use these videos in their class.
The second component of this product, the set of video-learning worksheets, allows teachers to enhance learning when students are engaging with video or documentary materials: it is a useful resource for teachers to have access to and will improve student engagement, reduce “coasting”,encouraging the creation of useful notes, and help students to organise the information they encounter.
*Please note: from time to time video-links will break, please contact us if this occurs and we will fix the links immediately. The format means you can easily substitute videos yourself if you happen to know of superior ones. *

This session, based around metacognition learning activities that use sticky-notes (‘Post-It’ notes), focuses on the factors, skills and choices that can enhance learning-power: the aim is to get students to engage in metacognitive reflection in a fun and engaging way.
Students will need an ample supply of post-it notes that they can write on and place on the board. There are approximately 50 slides, comprised of four main styles of activity: short plenary activities are also included between the main tasks.
Simply run the PowerPoint and work your way through: skipping ahead as necessary using the integrated buttons on the presentation. The PowerPoint is designed to be used multiple times in multiple sessions: do not try to complete all tasks in one sitting!
The idea is that you will use a few slides from each activity, as well as the AfL/plenary tasks, in each session: this will keep sessions sufficiently varied to keep students engaged.
The PowerPoint is very flexible: you can use this for short sessions of 10-15 minutes, or longer sessions up to an hour in length.

Meditation and mindfulness are central metacognitive skills: since metacognition is the personal reflection and exploration of thought and learning - what could be more direct that learning to carefully observe the operations of the mind through introspection? We view meditation as the ultimate form of ‘Deep Metacognition’.
Our ‘Metacognitive Meditation Pack’ focuses on secular (non-religious) meditation techniques; the pack includes everything you need to bring meditation to your school and, unlike other meditation teaching resources, ours is focused on how meditation can enhance concentration, thought-regulation and learning.
The download includes six resources:
An Introduction to Meditation
Meditation & Metacognition: How Meditation Can Boost Learning
Using Meditation to Train Concentration
Meditation & Gratitude: Improving Attitudes, Energy-Levels & Motivation
Meditation Instructions (A Multi-Use Tool With Instructions for Six Different Types of Meditation)
The Whole-School Meditation Poster Collection (Contains Ten Posters!)
It is a useful tool not just for boosting metacognitive and learning power but also for enhancing your school’s PSHE and SMSC provisions.

This resource uses A3 Debate Worksheets to foster discussions about learning and metacognition amongst small groups of students. The intention is that students are in groups of 3-5 and that the debate worksheets circulate around the room, with groups rotating the worksheets every five minutes, so that different groups can discuss them and add ideas.
It covers five topics, each contains eleven debate worksheets. Each topic comprises a learning session, though the resources can be used as shorter learning activities. The five topics discussed are:
Thinking Deeply About The Value of Education
Thinking Deeply About Thought
Thinking Deeply About Memory
Thinking Deeply About Concentration
Thinking Deeply About Independent Learning
A short instructional PowerPoint is also included so as to guide the learning sessions.

This PowerPoint included 101 debate prompts. It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly. Each prompt is designed to trigger reflection on a metacognition or learning-power issue, examples include:
“A health body leads to a healthy mind”
“It is possible to know too much” and
“Everyone is born with an equal capacity for success in school.”
Debates take an ‘agree or disagree’ format: students are asked to move from one side of the room to the other depending on their response to the statements that appear.
This format allows teachers to foster debates and discussions between students, it can be helpful to ask students to justify their reasons and use sensible arguments. Questions you might ask include:
“What is wrong with the other position in your view?”,
“Why did you choose to stand where you’re standing?”,
“Why do you think people disagree so much about this question?”
It is best to encourage students to pick a side rather than float in the middle: but it can also be fun to allow students to change side as the debate progresses, so that students can try to persuade one another to move.
This is a great resource to use at the end of lessons if you have a few minutes left, it can be used as an entire lesson.
