“Make learning as easy as possible for yourself so that you minimise any barriers that might stop you.” DR Shyam Barr

Could self-regulated learning be the missing link?

In this episode of The School of Wellbeing, Meg Durham is joined by Dr Shyam Barr — educator, researcher and author of Educate to Self-Regulate: Empowering Learners for Lifelong Success.

Together, they explore the essential skills students need to become confident, independent learners, including metacognition, motivation, and emotional regulation.

You’ll learn what self-regulated learning really is, how it connects to wellbeing, and why procrastination often isn’t what it seems. This conversation is full of practical strategies for the classroom, insightful stories from real experience, and a powerful reminder that learning how to learn is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and others.
