In this episode of 'Educate to Self-Regulate', I am joined by Michael Rosenbrock, experienced science educator, former Assistant Principal, and implementation advisor with over 15 years' experience in schools.

Together, we explore how metacognition can become a natural part of the science classrooms and beyond. From confronting student misconceptions to structuring deeper reflection, we share practical, research-informed strategies grounded in real classroom experience.

In this episode, you'll learn:
✔️ How metacognitive strategies align with scientific thinking and inquiry
✔️ Practical ways to help students surface and confront common misconceptions
✔️ Time-saving protocols that support student self-evaluation, peer marking, and ownership of feedback

Michael also shares how the principle of pruning has shaped his thinking about teaching and change leadership. I reflect on how a simple word 'Essential' has helped me prune back the overload, filter priorities, and stay focused on what really matters.
