Teach
Students How to Learn: Strategies You Can Incorporate into Any Course to
Improve Student Metacognition, Study Skills, and Motivation, by Saundra Yancy
McGuire, Stylus Publishing, October 2015.
From the
publisher: “What is preventing your students from performing according to
expectations? Saundra McGuire offers a simple but profound answer: If you teach
students how to learn and give them simple, straightforward strategies to use,
they can significantly increase their learning and performance.” As reviewer
Tom Angelo notes, this book is for faculty who believe that students could
learn more deeply than they do at present, who are frustrated by students who
seem unmotivated and disengaged, and who care about educational equity and
fairness. All participants will receive a copy of the book ahead of time.
Participants can choose from either the Tuesday session on February 18th or the
Wednesday session on March 2nd.* Lunch will be provided.
*Please sign up for the session you plan to attend.
