Critics Review
This is very informative and easy to understand especially as an ECT. It’s given me some great insight and ideas to use. – Pippa-Louise M * Netgalley *
Anoara Mughal’s book is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of metacognition and why it matters so deeply for all children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Practical, reflective and rooted in real classroom experience, this book is an invaluable guide for educators wanting to develop children’s thinking, self-regulation and independence. It also prompted me to reflect on children who may be academically capable but have not yet been given the tools or opportunities to think about their own thinking. A genuinely important and timely read. * Toria Bono - Year Leader & PSHE Lead *
Each chapter is broken down into concise, easily digestible sections that are rich in theory while remaining memorable and readily applicable in practice. – Lauren Boyer, interim Deputy Head * Just Content *
This book is essential reading for school leaders and practitioners who want to ensure that metacognitive practice is used intentionally to ensure no child is left behind… [It] reinforces the universality of effective instruction and the importance of making these elements explicit, intentional and purposeful. – Laura Boyer, interim Deputy Head * Just Content *
