Connecting the Dots: How Learner Agency, Metacognition, and the Science of Learning Work Together with Suzy Evans and Dr. Shane Saeed

from The Balance, by Dr. Catlin Tucker · host catlinthebalance

In this episode, I chat with Suzy Evans and Dr. Shane Saeed about how learner agency, metacognition, and assessment can work together rather than be siloed or disconnected. We explored what the science of learning tells us about helping students take more ownership of their thinking and how teachers can design routines that make assessment something they do with students, not to them. Shane and Susie shared concrete strategies they use in classrooms across their district, along with insights from hosting their popular podcast, Vrainwaves. They also talked about what it looks like to seek balance while juggling so many roles in education. This episode brings the pieces together for anyone trying to make their practice feel more connected and purposeful.
