Good morning,

This week’s episode focuses on metacognition in writing, and it is one of those conversations that helps turn an often abstract idea into something much more practical.

I’m joined by Jen Sutherland and Donny Morrison, who offer a clear and thoughtful exploration of what metacognitive strategies in writing actually look like. We discuss planning, idea generation, using models, getting unstuck, editing, and why these things should be taught explicitly rather than left to chance. It is a particularly useful listen for anyone interested in helping students approach writing with greater confidence, clarity, and control.

Let me know what you think, and I hope you enjoy it.

Huge thanks to everyone who shared last week’s episode. It genuinely helps the podcast reach more thoughtful primary teachers and leaders. If you know someone who values reflecting carefully on teaching, learning or leadership, I’d love it if you passed the link on.

That’s all from me this week. I’d really love to hear what you think about the episode. Leave a comment wherever you listen, or just hit reply and share your thoughts.

Until next time, thanks for listening.
