Unlock your hidden potential by developing self-advocacy and previewing strategies grounded in
Self-Regulated Learning 
Do you tend to sit in classes, crossing your fingers that your teachers won't call on you? Does it seem like everyone else gets it, while you feel a bit lost? Do you wish you could be a bit more proactive and take more ownership of your own learning? Our Turbocharged Self-Advocacy and Previewing course will support any secondary or university student in developing a more proactive approach, leveraging their relationships with their teachers, and becoming confident participators in class discussions.


This course is for you if:

  • You're very motivated but not confident when it comes to class participation
  • You sometimes struggle to fully understand the content taught in lessons if you also are expected to take notes and participate in class  
  • The pace of instruction is just a bit too quick to let you process the information
  • Your teacher's way of teaching doesn't really match your way of learning

Course Description:
This course will equip you with self-advocacy and previewing skills, grounded in the principles of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL). Before long, you will be one of 'those students', the student with your hand raised throughout every lesson. The
 lessons in this course are designed to help you prepare for effective class participation and advocate for yourself; you’ll end up with the confidence and skills needed to actively engage in every lesson, regardless of whether you are in high school, university, or beyond. We hope you're excited to begin your journey!



Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, you will be able to:


  • Use previewing skills to maximise your performance in class
  • Use straightforward, easy-to-implement strategies to advocate for yourself with your teachers

About your course developer:

Sandra Forrest has spent 32 years developing Study Skills programmes underpinned by decades of research in the field of Self-Regulated Learning, including her own doctoral research. She also draws on cognitive behavioural science and neuroscience to ensure the why's, what's and how's of learning are all comprehensively integrated into the strategies her programmes emphasise. Sandra isn't just driven by her passionate belief in hidden potential and confidence that a self-regulated approach can unlock that potential; she's driven by the knowledge that excellence is a habit, achievable by anyone who is ambitious enough to learn how to learn.
