Episode 285: In this episode of Thinking Deeply About Primary Education, Kieran is joined by Jen Sutherland and Donny Morrison to explore metacognition in writing and why it matters so much for developing young writers.
The conversation begins by clarifying the difference between cognition and metacognition before moving into what metacognitive strategies in writing actually look like in practice.
They also examine why these strategies deserve more attention in classrooms. Too often, writing becomes a product-driven exercise where students focus on finishing a piece or cramming in features rather than understanding the process of writing itself.
This is a thoughtful and practical conversation for anyone interested in improving writing instruction and helping more students see themselves as writers.
