Liz Keable Talks Metacognition

Liz Keable Talks Metacognition

 

• What is Metacognition? 

 

• Are you, as an educator, plotting out your curriculum based on an experience you expect the students to have, or one that they will have?  What is the difference?  Listen in! 

 

• How do we engage students and put them into a situation so we can have them buy in to the learning and begin down the road to learning what we hope they glean form the material? 

 

• How do the five senses become a basis for all our learning? 

 

• How do we switch from learning to being taught?  What are the differences? 

 

• How do we incorporate  Gardiner’s Learning Styles in our work every day? 

 

• How do we help students find their strengths? 

 

• How do we encourage failure to learn? 

This conversation with Liz Keable takes us down a path of learning how our students learn despite our best efforts.   

 

Liz Keable is a Success Coach and Social Psychologist who delves into how students think, what they need in order to find success, and how teachers can also work more effectively.  

 

I have posted her information below, in case you’d like to contact her.  

 

I’m hoping to have her back soon!

Liz is a fully qualified teacher and trainer with many years experience of working with children, young people and adults to support their learning, in both group and one to one situations. As a Biologist with a special interest in the brain, she initially taught Science in High Schools and has always pursued ‘brain friendly’ ways of teaching. Liz also undertook additional training as a Hamlyn Fellow with the University of the First Age, and then with the British Academy of Advanced Training in order to employ the best teaching and learning methods available.

 

Specialising in Gifted and Talented Education, Liz trained further with ‘Sapere’ to deliver ‘Philosophy for Children’, and with author Barbara Bell to deliver the Minimus Primary Latin project. During her time as an Advisory Teacher, Liz developed confidence building ‘transition’ materials for Primary schools, trained classroom teachers to use the specialist packs provided, and carried out a successful research project to raise attainment in that sector. She has more recently supported the educational needs of vulnerable children in specialist ‘foster care’ placements, developing further ‘Learning Brain’ materials in the process.

 

As a Masters level trainer of adults, Liz has written and independently delivered numerous bespoke courses within the education, voluntary and business sectors, whilst also serving as a tutor through other education providers. She has a management qualification from the Institute of Leadership and Management and spent several years as the Development Manager for a local Parenting Strategy.  Liz trained further with Parenting UK to become a ‘Trainer of Parent Educators’ and provides specialist material for parents, and the facilitators of parenting programmes. Over recent years, Liz has also been supporting schools with their CPD needs for Cover Supervisors, Teaching Assistants, and Teachers. 

 

Liz originally founded Learning Pockets UK to help learners in any situation to feel more confident about their ability to succeed, and has personally assisted hundreds of young people to achieve more than they, or anyone else thought possible. In recognition of the fact that the internal environment of a learner’s mind is the most significant factor for both postive mental health, and academic outcomes, Liz now offers; ‘Metacognition in Practice – An Integrated Approach.  

 

Support on this topic is available in several formats; Leadership consultancy for whole school application, specialist training for Teachers and Support Staff, individual student support training for Parents, and an opportunity to access ‘The Learner Success Pathway’. This is a unique 84 page package of structured activities, introducing a sense of ‘self’ into the learning process that enables previously struggling students to become self-motivated, independent learners, responsible for their own progress!
