Sequencing Instruction for Self-Regulated Learners
Julia A. Simms explores self-regulated learning through brain-based learning, instructional sequences, and action research. Grounded in educational psychology and the research-based approach of Marzano Resources, this book examines cognitive skills, working memory, and self-efficacy. By implementing these strategies, educators can empower students to take charge of their learning.
A guide to self-regulated learning
Through research-backed strategies and practical applications, author Julia A. Simms explores self-regulated learning, instructional sequences, and brain-based learning. She examines the development of cognitive and metacognitive skills, working memory, and effective explicit instruction, offering step-by-step guidance for teachers to facilitate student learning. By supporting students through guided practice and monitoring, educators can help build declarative and procedural knowledge, enhance self-efficacy, and bridge learning gaps.
K–12 teachers can use this book to:
- Enhance student learning outcomes through development of self-aware learning practices
- Understand how knowledge, memory, and metacognition work to inspire further learning
- Incorporate strategies that develop students’ mental capacities as independent learners
- Employ action research processes to align goals with strategies that ensure successful outcomes
- Make students active agents in lifelong learning, setting goals with curious mindsets
