In this ‘Voices from the Classroom’ video, Lucy Broomfield – primary school teacher and KS1 phase leader at Chorlton Park Primary 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 the teacher to build solid knowledge and understanding before gradually releasing responsibility to the learner. The ‘seven-step model’ can be applied to learning different subject content at different phases and ages.
We asked Lucy to talk to us about how the ‘seven-step model’ has become an integral part of her teaching habits. Lucy highlights the importance of teachers modelling their own thinking throughout the seven-step model to help pupils develop their metacognitive skills.
