Edited by:


March 2026 | 208 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Discover how to enhance your school’s curriculum and boost student outcomes by applying metacognition across secondary subject teaching. 

This book offers secondary school teachers and curriculum leaders a comprehensive guide on how to build metacognitive strategies into curriculum design, maximising student learning outcomes. It sets out the groundwork for applying metacognitive approaches to teaching and learning, from avoiding pitfalls to whole school strategy, before looking in detail at nine secondary curriculum subjects and the application of metacognitive teaching to tutor time.
 
Through expert insights and practical strategies, grouped around planning, monitoring and evaluation, it explores what joined-up and effective metacognitive teaching looks like in different subject disciplines.
