A real pinch-me moment. 💛 Five years ago, I wrote Think! Metacognition-powered Primary Teaching. Now it sits beside my 2nd book, Metacognitive Teaching-shortlisted for the Teach Primary Awards 2026. 🥹 Five years. Two books. Still passionate about #metacognition. #teacher #CPD

Last night’s book launch reminded me that success isn’t always measured by numbers. People travelled hours to attend; some I hadn’t seen in 7 years. They listened intently, asked thoughtful questions, & something shifted in the room.

📚 OUT TODAY! What if the key to narrowing the attainment gap isn't what we teach, but how we teach pupils to think? Metacognitive Teaching translates evidence-informed research into practical classroom strategies that build confidence, independence, and resilience in every learner.

Many disadvantaged students are not lacking effort. They are lacking access to: • learning strategies • self-monitoring • planning systems • cognitive confidence That’s why #metacognition matters.

Anoara Mughal FCCT @anoaramughal.bsky.social · 17/05/2026
The attainment gap is not only about knowledge. It is also about confidence, self-belief, reflection, and access to learning strategies. Some students are taught how to learn. Others are expected to figure it out alone. That difference matters enormously. #metacognition

Hello––I'm interested in poetry & songs written to protest against harm to rivers or to protect them from harm. Not just paeans to rivers, of which there are many. But words to protest or protect. Can you recommend anything? I’d really like to grow a list. Any century, language, culture, custom.
