SUMMARY:Metacognition in Science: Building student agency and independence
DESCRIPTION:This unique program combines a full day in-person workshop with online follow-up coaching to explore evidence-informed approaches to building student metacognitive capacity in science. \nYou will explore: \n\nWhat metacognition is and why it matters (and how it compliments the nature of science);\nDrawing on evidence from research and practice to take an evidence-informed approach to implementing metacognitive strategies;\nUsing with the metacognitive process to build student knowledge of task\, strategies and self\, through cycles of planning\, monitoring and evaluation; and\nPractical strategies for implementing metacognition in science teaching such as modelling thinking\, organising knowledge\, scaffolding discussion\, worked examples\, structured reflection and effective study strategies\,\n\nThis professional learning is evidence-informed and is aligned with school system priorities including the implementation of the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0\, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools Flourishing Learners and Sandhurst Diocese Magnify.  \nNote: STAV Event Terms and Conditions \nFeedback from previous participants: \n\n“Great take home strategies and resources”\n“One of the best PDs I’ve ever been to – practical examples for immediate use in the classroom.”\n“Appreciated the opportunities for collaboration and built-in time to plan for implementation”\n“Invaluable insights had me reflecting deeply on building metacognition in my teaching”\n“Evidence based practices that can be applied in the classroom – translating theory into practice”\n“Insightful takeaways for my leadership role – perfect timing as we start to roll out Victorian Curriculum 2.0 in science at our school”\n“Going beyond the surface of metacognition to what it looks like in practice in science classrooms”\n“A great approach for building student agency – particularly in scientific investigations”
