Agents of Understanding ( © Catherine Evans 2019) is a child-friendly resource that I have created to be used to support the use of metacognition in school. I researched metacognition and found that many of the skills it discusses are skills we already use in the classroom, particularly through the teaching of Guided Reading. The Agents of Understanding has taken eight metacognition skills such as scanning for clues and using background information and turned them into a child-friendly resource. This pack consists of a teacher tool, which explains how each skill can be used in the classroom with teacher stem sentences; a children’s poster pack, which contains an individual poster for each skill with child-friendly stem sentences to support their thinking and an Agents of Understanding poster which can go on display in classrooms, corridors or exercise books. These skills can be used across the curriculum and go particularly well with Bloom’s activities. I hope you find it useful in your classrooms! If your school would like any training in how to use this document, please don’t hesitate to get in touch or leave your school’s email in the comments. Thank you :)
