In this ‘Voices from the Classroom’ video, Julie Kettlewell – Psychology Teacher and Assistant Director at Huntingdon Research School – explains how she uses the ‘seven-step model’ to support pupils’ independent learning.
Drawing from Recommendation 2 of the EEF’s ‘Metacognition and Self-Regulation’ guidance report, this video highlights how the ‘seven-step model’ for explicitly teaching metacognitive strategies allows teachers to build solid knowledge and understanding before gradually releasing responsibility to their learners.
The ‘seven-step model’ can be applied to different subject content at all phases and ages.
We asked Julie to talk to us about how she applies the ‘seven-step model’ to her A‑level planning and teaching. Julie highlights how the model allows us to explicitly focus our teaching on developing independence.
