In this episode of Educate to Self-Regulate, I (Dr Shyam Barr) chat self-regulated learning with Rebecca Birch, a teacher, researcher and Academic in Residence at Queenwood school in NSW, Australia. Rebecca is passionate about the power of explicit instruction—not just for academic success, but for building lifelong learning habits.

Join us as we explore Queenwood’s Smart Study Program, a research-backed initiative designed to help students manage academic stress while developing independent study skills. Initially rolled out for Year 9 and 10 students, the program is built on cognitive strategies like retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving—but incorporates motivational and metacognitive elements too!

Rebecca shares what it takes to embed these approaches into real classrooms, the challenges of shifting mindsets, and the wins she’s seen when students start using these tools effectively.

In this episode of 'Educate to Self-Regulate', Shy and Rory unpack some key implications of Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO)'s latest practice guide on Supporting Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) 🧠📚

The article is a fantastic prompt to support conversations about teaching SRL in schools. T& L leaders may consider setting it as professional reading with a thinking routine like ‘Connect-Extend-Challenge’ and then meeting in a literacy circle to discuss.

The boys’ takeaways include:

1. Teach and Model SRL: Explicitly teach different techniques including concept mapping, summarising and self-testing. Scaffold learning tasks by setting and revisiting goals.

2. Encourage Self-Evaluation: Help students assess their work and reflect on learning strategies. Celebrate progress and effort, not just outcomes.

3. Address Misconceptions: Educate students on effective study habits like spaced practice and active recall.

4. Create a Supportive Environment: Engage families and foster a classroom culture that values effort and continuous improvement.

In this episode of "Educate to Self-Regulate," we dive deep into the world of self-regulated learning with the delightful addition of Dipesh Vader, substituting Rory's Irish charm with his own British flair. This marks the second episode of our third season, where we've begun integrating insights from practitioners in the field to enrich our educational community. 

Dipesh, with a robust background in teaching and leading in the UK and Australia, shares his expertise in self-regulated learning and the science of motivation, shedding light on his innovative "Triple Impact Feedback" approach. This method, evolved from the UK's triple impact marking, emphasises meaningful, actionable feedback over mere marking, encouraging students to engage actively with their learning process. Dipesh's approach uses visual cues (think pink, go green) to foster a deeper understanding and application of knowledge, proving especially effective in his examples from teaching forces to Year 7 students. Furthermore, Dipesh and Shyam discuss practical strategies for both teachers and students to enhance their self-regulation skills, offering insights into their personal practices for staying engaged and reflective. 

Whether you're a teacher looking to refine your feedback methods or a student seeking strategies to improve your learning, this episode provides valuable perspectives on fostering a more interactive and supportive educational environment. Join us as we explore these innovative approaches to teaching and learning, aimed at making feedback more impactful and learning more self-directed.
