The purpose of these sessions is to foster questioning skills, Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and critical-thinking skills. Each of the sessions contains four phases:

• ‘What Makes a Good Question?’
• Generating Philosophical Questions
• Using Questions in Critical-Thinking
• Questioning Experts

These PowerPoint sessions are fairly flexible and consist of many short discussion questions instead of more lengthily tasks: each one contains 25+ slides. The exercises generally involve question-generation: the prompts deal with metacognitive issues and broader questions from the wider curriculum.

We offer a range of whole-school metacognition resources that aim to enhance metacognitive skills and strategies in students aged 11-16. You can download individual resources or buy our ‘Whole School Metacognition Toolkits’ that make establishing a whole-school metacognition initiative easy.

Our resources specialise in:

• Boosting Learning-Power
• Teaching Metacognitive Skills & Strategies
• Increasing Metacognitive Power (Intelligence, Memory etc.)
