    42. 2025 in Review: Metacognitive Self-Reflection and SRL Insights

    In this final episode of Educate to Self-Regulate for the year, and my first solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most important phases of self-regulated learning: Metacognitive self-reflection. As we wrap up 2025, I’m unpacking: • Why planning–monitoring–evaluating really matters • How metacognitive prompts can deepen your own learning • Practical tools like PMI, SWOT, and Start–Stop–Continue to guide more meaningful reflection • What this year taught me through the podcast, from AI as a metacognitive partner to Queenwood’s smart study approach, strategy-building in primary classrooms, learning journals, and long-form conversations with researchers • What’s coming in 2026 I’m also sharing two strategies I’m leaning on as we enter the break: ✔️ Show up to rest the same way you show up to training ✔️ Recalibrating meditation as a non-negotiable part of my routine Wherever you are, I hope this episode helps you pause, reflect, and set yourself up for a strong 2026. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

    41. Inquiry and Self-Regulated Learning — with Kath Murdoch

    In this special long-form episode of Educate to Self-Regulate: Deep Dive, I sit down with world-renowned inquiry educator Kath Murdoch for a rich and thoughtful conversation about how inquiry approaches can support students' self-regulated learning. Together, we unpack what it means to take an inquiry stance—not just investigating topics, but guiding students to inquire into themselves as learners. We also explore the distinctions (and overlaps) between direct, explicit, and inquiry instruction, and why effective teaching depends on a responsive, flexible repertoire, not any single method. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✔️ How inquiry-based practices naturally strengthen metacognition and self-regulated learning ✔️ Why the “inquiry stance” is foundational for building genuine student agency ✔️ How to strategically blend explicit teaching with inquiry to meet diverse learner needs Kath brings more than 40 years of experience across classrooms, universities, and consultancy—along with her signature clarity, warmth, and wisdom. If you’re an educator curious about the intersection of inquiry and self-regulated learning, this episode will genuinely nourish your thinking. Listen now and discover how inquiry and SRL work together to build the “how to learn” capabilities young people need—especially in an age shaped by AI. Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

We explore insights from new 2025 research on Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) from the article "Professionalising Schools on Self-Regulated Learning: Roles, Responsibilities and Challenges of Process Coaches" (Frontiers in Education, 2025). In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ What a Process Coach is and why this role supports SRL across schools ✔️ How leaders can model learning to build trust, agency, and teacher efficacy ✔️ Practical ways to design PLCs that foster real professional growth Listen now and rethink what it means to lead the learning process.

    38. Practical Approaches to Empower Students Through Mindset and Motivation

    In this episode of Educate to Self-Regulate, I sit down with Lauren Munday, secondary school Health and PE teacher, author of Mastering Your Mind for Success, and founder of Think Set Go. We explore why goal setting is the easy part, but goal pursuit is where students often stumble, and how Lauren's Think Set Go framework equips young people with focus, resilience, and motivation to keep going. In this episode you'll learn: •  Why students set goals but struggle to follow through •  How the Think Set Go framework helps students stay focused and motivated •  Classroom strategies that make ideas like perspective and attention simple and engaging •  How small wins and comfort-zone challenges build confidence for bigger goals Lauren and I also reflect on how giving students an experience of these strategies, rather than just teaching them, can make a lasting impact on self-regulation and learning.

    In this episode of 'Educate to Self-Regulate', I am joined by Michael Rosenbrock, experienced science educator, former Assistant Principal, and implementation advisor with over 15 years' experience in schools. Together, we explore how metacognition can become a natural part of the science classrooms and beyond. From confronting student misconceptions to structuring deeper reflection, we share practical, research-informed strategies grounded in real classroom experience. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ How metacognitive strategies align with scientific thinking and inquiry ✔️ Practical ways to help students surface and confront common misconceptions ✔️ Time-saving protocols that support student self-evaluation, peer marking, and ownership of feedback Michael also shares how the principle of pruning has shaped his thinking about teaching and change leadership. I reflect on how a simple word 'Essential' has helped me prune back the overload, filter priorities, and stay focused on what really matters.

    36. Learning Journals That Spark Reflection and Self-Regulation

    In this episode of 'Educate to Self-Regulate', I sit down with Nidean Dickson, Dean of Professional Teaching at Brigidine College, Queensland, to explore how learning journals can support self-regulated learning (SRL) by helping students reflect more deeply and engage with the learning process in meaningful ways. Nidean shares how she introduced journals to her Year 11 and 12 students, creating space for metacognitive thinking, handwritten reflection, and rich conversations about learning. From introducing SRL language to offering students open-ended prompts, her approach has helped foster a culture of reflection, ownership, and self-efficacy. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ How learning journals help students reflect on their process, not just outcomes ✔️ Why handwriting, timing, and feedback all matter in reflective practice ✔️ How to adapt journal prompts to suit different age groups and contexts Plus, we discuss metacognitive prompts from Tools for Teaching Metacognition and explore how to make journaling purposeful and sustainable in busy classrooms. Discover how learning journals can unlock deeper thinking and lasting self-regulation. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or watch the full episode on YouTube.
