An Education Consultancy founded by Learning Science Practitioner
Dr Emma Pauncefort
to
empower learner and educator alike with the learning and teaching toolkits to thrive in C21st society
I distil the latest thinking in the learning sciences.
I develop critical and creative literacy and learning models to promote learning revolution.
I disseminate this work through peer-reviewed publications, coaching and CPD programmes for teachers worldwide.
Questions my work answers:
How do I know what I ‘know’? (metacognition)
How do I learn? (metacognition)
Why do I learn / why should I want to ‘know’? (promoting intrinsic motivation)
What does it mean 'to know'?
Learning is the ultimate levelling up tool.
By understanding the way we learn we can improve the way we learn.
By understanding what it means to learn we can turn information into knowledge.

I link skills and disciplines
I believe in education change brought about by research and collaboration
I research and think hard about the disconnect between education and society.
I write about this disconnect and where to go now.
I work to develop metacognitive understanding in young people so that they develop independent learning skills for life.
I work to empower educators to embed critical and connected education in their practice, with especial focus on promoting metacognitive development and critical literacy with their students.
I collaborate with other education innovators and organisations to bring about real change to education.
I work across sectors and international borders
I am hugely fortunate to have the support of an advisory board which brings together experts from the primary, secondary and tertiary education sectors, media literacy, researchers in English and History and representatives from the field of interaction design.
"At a time when 'fake news' has become prevalent across the web and presents a worldwide threat, The Critical Literacy Project is of vital importance in supporting the development of critical reading skills in young people"

Recent collaborations include work with EdTech start-up, Parlay Ideas.
