Have you ever talked with students about study skills? Did they lean in with unbridled enthusiasm? Or did your intuition suggest this might not be the right approach? Dr. Saundra McGuire, a leading expert on student learning, has some helpful advice. Together we tackle the metacognitive equity gap—that unseen divide between students who have been taught how to think about their learning and those who haven’t—and why talking about metacognition—not just study tips—could be the shift we need to get students to engage in real learning. Guest BioDr. Saundra McGuire is an internationally-acclaimed speaker, Professor Emerita of Chemistry, and Director Emerita of the Center for Academic Success at Louisiana State University. She is the author of the best-selling books Teach Students How to Learn and Teach Yourself How to Learn.
