Saundra Y. McGuire discusses how to teach students how to learn on episode 132 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Learning is a process, not an activity.

Physical activity is really important to having the brain operate at peak efficiency.

Pretending that you’re teaching information is a great way to practice retrieval of that information.

Students who may be failing our courses miserably are not failing because they are not capable; they are failing because they don’t have strategies to successfully manage the information.

When we believe it’s possible, then we can help students believe it’s possible.
