Inside the Student’s Brain - Metacogntion: The What, How, and Why with Liz Keable

What goes on Inside a Kid’s Head?  Understanding Metacognition and Strategies with Liz Keable

We are pleased and honored to have Liz Keable back, again.  This time we dive into aspects of Metacognition, what it means, how to go about developing it, and - of course- practicing it in the classroom.    There are many moments when we realize where we are making our own mistakes, and fixing them can be so simple!   But how do we handle learning equitably? How do we handle it so all students thrive? 

Liz is such an impressive speaker and developer of methodologies in metacognition that I could go on for days learning from her and listening to her.  

I have put her links and bio below.

Liz is a fully qualified teacher and trainer with many years of experience 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.

Specializing 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 Master's level trainer of adults, Liz has written and independently delivered numerous bespoke courses within the education, voluntary and business sectors, while 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 programs. 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 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 positive mental health and academic outcomes, Liz now offers; ‘Metacognition in Practice – An Integrated Approach’.
