  • Critical Thinking

    Learners explore what critical thinking is and how and when they can employ problem-solving skills both inside and outside the classroom.

  • Reflection

    This session looks at the importance of reflection in building metacognitive skills. We look at key questions and processes to help embed reflection into the learning lifecycle to help improve independence, confidence and attainment.

  • Research

    The final session focuses on research and introduces learners to the skills that they need to begin effectively researching a topic of their choice. Learners will discuss why good research skills are important and develop their ability to analyse information effectively.
