In episode 33 of Educate to Self-regulate, we pick up where we left off in episode 32, continuing our deep dive into the Smart Study program at Queenwood with Rebecca Birch.

Rebecca and I discuss how education leaders can implement a self-regulated learning initiative in schools, drawing on learning from the Queenwood Smart Study. She highlights the importance of understanding underlying challenges before diving into large-scale projects and reveals how the Smart Study program's unique blend of cognitive and metacognitive strategies and socio-emotional skills is helping students manage academic stress and report greater joy at school.
