    Claire Wakeling joins Clay Harrison to discuss metacognition, as part of the school's recovery curriculum. They consider both the positive and negative effect the national lockdown may have had on learners, in regards to their ability to self-regulate their learning, and ways we can develop their metacognitive skills in the classroom.  The episode complements the guidance page for metacognition, found on the staff learning site.

    1.4 Feedback and Guidance Across the School

    In this episode we discuss the theme of feedback and guidance, a topic we have visited and revisited as a school on a number of occasions, but which can often provide a number of challenges around quality, quantity, consistency, expectation and learners' value and appreciation.  David Calver discusses some of these challenges with Abbi, Kelly and Sophie from English, Jonny from E&S/Business Studies and Kate from Science.  Each of these subject teams have recently implemented or are currently in the process of implementing policies for feedback and guidance and the conversation covers thew challenges and aspirations for these teams in terms of improving the quality, consistency and impact on learners of feedback and guidance.
