What if the secret to improving student learning isn’t about doing more, but doing things differently? 

Students spend more than 10,000 hours in school, yet many struggle with knowing how to learn effectively. Teachers, of course, already support their students in countless ways. But when another international report drops with news of declining student performance, it’s hard not to feel the weight of it. 

But what if there’s a proven solution that’s been hiding in plain sight? 

Enter self-regulated learning (SRL)—a concept that’s backed by over 40 years of research but still underutilized in classrooms. And the best part? Boosting your students’ academic performance and motivation might not require big, time-consuming interventions after all. 

This course builds upon the success of the 2022 course “Teaching Life Competences 1 – Shaping Lifelong Learners through Self-Regulated Learning”.  

In this enhanced and updated version, you’ll get a taste of: 

• What SRL is 

• Why it matters 

• How you can integrate it into your current teaching practices—quickly and effectively 

• How knowing the SRL basics will set you up with success when tackling other changes in classroom practice, such as AI developments 

Let’s find the quick wins and low-hanging fruit to get you started right away.  Ready to join? 

This course targets teachers who want to equip their students with a decent set of strategies that will help them achieve their goals within (and beyond) school. It’s a perfect fit for teachers who 

• are prepared to challenge long-held beliefs if necessary  

• believe students will perform well if they can 

• are looking forward to exploring the exact skills that keep students from performing well 

• are willing to make some small adaptations in their teaching practice so they can increase the impact of what they are already doing in no time
