Empowering teachers and learners with self-regulated learning
Have you ever found yourself repeating the same instructions to your students—only to watch them still hesitate or rely on guesswork?
Do some of them seem to wait passively for step-by-step guidance, while others charge ahead and thrive on challenges?
If these scenarios resonate with you, you're not alone!
Description
This is precisely where Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) comes in. Rather than passively absorbing content, self-regulated learners plan their approach to tasks, set relevant goals, monitor their progress, and reflect on their successes and setbacks.
Best of all, SRL can be cultivated in every classroom—so no student’s opportunities depend on luck or on encountering the “right teacher.”
That’s why dr. Jeltsen Peeters—an academic expert and researcher in SRL—has joined forces with the Invento school district—known for its school-wide implementation of SRL.
Together, we offer a unique partnership that bridges the latest research insights with large-scale, on-the-ground practice.
Please read our Course Flyer for a longer description of the course.
You can pre-register here. Once we have enough participants, we’ll contact you again to confirm the course.
In the meantime, check out our course organizers At The Heart Of Learning and INVENTO School District.
Learning objectives
After this course, participants will:
- Understand and apply SRL: Deepen their knowledge of self-regulated learning principles and apply evidence-based techniques to help students become proactive, strategic learners.
- Enhance teaching practices: Integrate SRL strategies into daily lesson plans and adapt instruction to foster deeper student engagement and motivation.
- Strengthen school-wide implementation: Discover how to build and sustain communities of practice among teachers, ensuring that SRL flourishes consistently across grade levels and subject areas.
- Engage stakeholders: Gain insights into how policymakers, school leaders, and teachers can collaborate to make SRL a shared priority and give every student equal opportunity to thrive.
