Live with Ben Blood: Metacognition—The Bridge to Student Success
Listen now
Description
College is hard. That's why Ben Blood dedicates so much time to student success; it's also why he spends time teaching students about metacognition, time management, self-discipline, help-seeking, and resilience/perseverance. Here, you'll take away specific strategies you can implement into your class to help students succeed and also help students "find their why:" The reason they're in college; the reason this is important to them; and their reason why. “If you fail it’s not a signal, it’s not a sign that you should quit. It’s not a flare being shot up to tell you you’re not worthy of college. Instead, we need to use our failures as opportunities for growth.” -Ben Blood  Recommended Resources: Ben Blood's blog with resources, access to his OER, and more: https://accountabiltycoachingforcollegesuccess.com/ Magna Online Seminar: Harnessing the Power of Open Pedagogy and Open Syllabi to Promote Student SuccessMagna Online Seminar: Applying Andragogy to Online Course Design to Increase Student Engagement and SuccessMagna Online Seminar: Teaching Underprepared Students to Take Control of Their Learning by Developing Metacognitive SkillsMagna Online Seminar: Teaching Underprepared Students: Strategies that Work
