We hold that meditation and mindfulness are central skills when it comes to self-regulated learning and metacognition: since metacognition involves the monitoring of, evaluation of and regulation of the cognitive aspect of the learning-process, what could be more direct that learning to carefully observe the operations of the mind through introspection? We view meditation as the ultimate form of 'Deep Metacognition'.
 
The Metacognitive Meditation Pack provides a comprehensive resource for introducing secular meditation techniques to schools, focusing on their benefits for concentration, thought regulation, and learning enhancement. Framed as "Deep Metacognition," the pack highlights how meditation supports self-regulated learning by improving students’ ability to monitor, evaluate, and regulate their cognitive processes. With six resources, including guides to meditation and its role in learning, gratitude-focused practices, and a poster collection, this pack is ideal for boosting learning power while enhancing PSHE and SMSC provisions across the school.
 
Our 'Metacognitive Meditation Pack' focuses on secular (non-religious) meditation techniques; the pack includes everything you need to bring meditation to your school and, unlike other meditation teaching resources, ours is focused on how meditation can enhance concentration, thought-regulation and learning.
 
The downloadable pack includes six resources:
 
An Introduction to Meditation
Meditation & Metacognition: How Meditation Can Boost Learning
Using Meditation to Train Concentration
Meditation & Gratitude: Improving Attitudes, Energy-Levels & Motivation

It is a useful tool not just for boosting metacognitive and learning power but also for enhancing your school's PSHE and SMSC provisions.
