Session Overview
Introduction and Foundation
We commence with a deep dive into the concept of self-regulated learning, emphasizing its pivotal role in student success. The presenter will provide an overview of neuroscience and its relation to self-regulation and learning.
Connecting
the Dots
Understanding the intricate link between self-monitoring, strategies, and reflection is important. We continue with an exploration of methods to integrate monitoring tools with strategies, emphasizing the role of awareness and reflection.
Understanding the Core Components
Moving beyond the theoretical, participants explore the core components of self-regulation. We scrutinize the factors influencing regulation around learning, fostering a nuanced understanding. Through interactive discussions and personal reflections, participants relate this learning to self-regulation within the unique context of their classrooms.
Reflection and
Planning
The final part of the professional development on self-regulated learning for teachers will focus on reflection and planning. Reflection is a crucial aspect of learning, and it allows participants to think about what they have learned and how they can apply it in their teaching practice. Learn More
Practical Strategies
for Implementation
With a solid foundation in place, we transition to the heart of the matter—practical strategies for promoting self-regulated learning in the classroom. There will be opportunities to engage in regulating strategies, and participants will be encouraged to share their experiences and ideas about implementing these strategies in their own classrooms.
Tailored Discussions for Specific Audiences: Recognizing the diverse needs of educators, discussions on strategies and implementation can be tailored to specific age groups, whether primary or secondary. This ensures relevance and applicability.
