About the course

The SSTUWA, in partnership with TLN in Melbourne, are pleased to offer this online learning opportunity.

This session brings together the teaching strategy of metacognition with the emerging research on neuroscience. In its simplest form metacognition teaches students about their own thinking and their own learning and thereby promotes greater control over their own learning. Teachers who are informed about the research on neuroscience develop a more complex understanding of the influences on student learning. Those teachers are better placed to support all students to become independent learners, from those who have experienced trauma through to gifted students.

This full day session draws on the practical experience of a leading teacher who has successfully implemented these approaches in their classroom and includes substantial discussion, exploration and question time. The aim for the session is that you will leave with new resources and/or an implementation plan for your classroom.

Delivery method: Live online event

The event will be five-hours in duration and consist of live delivery of content at the specified time by a presenter and a host. You will also have an opportunity to interact with other participants, take a break and engage with the presenter online. Completing this course will contribute to five-hours of professional learning and a certificate will be provided at the end of the session.
