Build Learning Practice Infrastructure Across Your Institution
B Optimal's Metacognitive Moves System comprehensive learning practice system of interactive tools, frameworks, and implementation guidance that embeds metacognitive practice into the academic work students are already doing — and into the support structures your institution already has.
It's not a curriculum or a training.
It's a system supports what students actually do while learning— with a defined architecture, integrated processes, and a scalable pathway for action.
One System.
Five Interconnected Moves.
The Metacognitive Moves System gives students a structured way to think about their thinking — across the full arc of academic life. Each tool targets a different moment where metacognitive skill-building has the most impact.
