Metacognitive-supportive teaching has the greatest effect on learning.

Metacognitive-supportive teaching has the greatest effect on learning. Metacognition is about active learning and respective teaching strategies enable students to take a greater role in their learning, enhancing intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and ultimately, achievement.  The best learners are metacognitive and all students can improve their metacognitive approach to learning. But how is this taught?  Reinvigorate your teaching with pragmatic professional development that explores a synthesis of factors that make a difference.

My staff rated Michael’s course the most useful PD in the past five years.

I enjoyed all of this course. I was particularly interested in of the impact of too much help. I agree that teachers really need to push back with students and parents because we are disabling them, and so the information about autonomy and competence was useful.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It was highly informative and motivating. I also really liked how it was structured – allowing me to pause the videos when I needed to and allowing for reflection on each section by way of the accompanying questions.

I got a lot out of this. It was good to actually write down my thinking as this is an effective way of reflecting to understand.
