Trying to nudge students toward true independence? I built a quick worksheet that walks classes through Zimmerman’s 15 self-regulation strategies, one lesson at a time, inspired by Kirschner & Hendrick. Grab it here and let me know how it goes!

Developing Self-Efficacy in Learners

Real independence grows from guided practice. Borrowing insights from Kirschner and Hendrick, this piece argues that novices need clear knowledge and modeled tactics before they can learn alone. It introduces a worksheet that helps teachers coach Zimmerman’s fifteen self regulation strategies, one focused lesson at a time.
