Scaffolding students’ success as independent learners: Developing instructional materials using self-regulated learning principles

Gain practical skills to scaffold your students’ development as independent learners using principles from self-regulated learning. This framework is goal-directed, and emphasizes the active role your students can take in guiding their learning. Students’ implementation of these skills has been linked to many adaptive and positive academic outcomes. In this workshop, you will explore practical methods to embed the teaching of self-regulated learning skills into your regular instruction, and learn how to feel more confident in your ability to design instructional materials that can help your students take the initiative to plan, direct, and reflect on your own learning processes. By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Articulate the value of self-regulated learning processes (i.e., planning, monitoring/control, and reflection) in promoting student success
• Design instructional materials to support students in developing disciplinary-based self-regulated learning skills

This two-part online workshop meets July 24th and August 7th on Zoom.

Registration opens on Monday, July 7 at noon.
