Adaptable meta-skill posters 

These editable posters have been developed to further support practitioners and learners understanding of meta-skills.      

Initially practitioners should engage in discussion to develop and agree illustrative examples of how meta-skills are applied or developed in their leaner/curricular area.  These examples should then be added to the editable templates and displayed in rooms/corridors so as learners can start to see the connections between application and development of meta-skills across the whole curriculum. 

• Adaptable self-management poster
