Enriching Teaching Practice with Metacognition and Self-regulated Learning

Instructors are often dismayed that college students seem to be focused on their grades but are often not willing to invest much time or effort in learning. This session focuses on what instructors and TAs can do, through their teaching practices, to help students take more ownership of their learning. Dr. Janine Nieroda is a teaching professor in the School of Education specializing in college learning strategies and teaching methodology. In this workshop, she will discuss the methodology behind enriching your teaching practice to enhance students’ metacognition and self-regulated learning. Dr. Nieroda will share user-friendly ways that you can adapt your instruction to assist your students in planning and organizing tasks, self-assessing progress, and strengthening their capability to thrive at SU.
