🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Try AI live in class: Let students think first, ask AI together, then examine its response. What works? What needs more evidence? What would you change? Revise the prompt and try again. One AI interaction can deepen both course content and thoughtful AI use.

🍎 Tuesday (Wednesday?) Teaching Tip! Want to renew your teaching motivation? Ask what could use a boost: confidence that you can succeed, the value in the work, or the time and energy it requires. Then make one small adjustment. Strengthening one part of motivation can help restore momentum.

AERA TEPSig (Teaching Educational Psychology SIG) @aeratepsig.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Self-affirmation works: When students quietly affirm to themselves what matters most—who they are and what they value—they feel more grounded and confident, specially before stressful work. A short writing prompt can strengthen focus and resilience.

110

AERA TEPSig (Teaching Educational Psychology SIG) @aeratepsig.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

🍎 Teaching Tip Tuesday (T3) Get inspired by how people learn around the world—through forest schools in Finland, structured debate in Tibetan monasteries, and apprenticeship in craft communities. Try outdoor lessons, student-led questioning, or learning-by-doing to enrich everyday teaching.

101

AERA TEPSig (Teaching Educational Psychology SIG) @aeratepsig.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) No more boring classes! Support autonomy, connect learning to purpose, and balance challenge with support. Offer meaningful choices, vary activities, and invite student voice. When students feel agency and relevance, boredom gives way to engagement.

110

AERA TEPSig (Teaching Educational Psychology SIG) @aeratepsig.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) Creativity through questions: Learning deepens when students generate their own questions. Make space for wondering, highlight explanation-seeking questions, and treat questions as tools for thinking, not interruptions.

110

AERA TEPSig (Teaching Educational Psychology SIG) @aeratepsig.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) Feedback literacy in action: Go beyond giving feedback and teach students how to use it. Build judgment with examples, normalize emotional reactions, and ask students to name one next step. Learning improves when feedback guides future action.

110

AERA TEPSig (Teaching Educational Psychology SIG) @aeratepsig.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3) Teaching for transfer: Transfer is when students apply learning beyond a single task or context. Support it by building clear mental models, varying practice, and asking “Where else might this apply?” Small prompts help students see knowledge as flexible and reusable.

101

AERA TEPSig (Teaching Educational Psychology SIG) @aeratepsig.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Metacognition in action Help students think about their thinking. Ask before: “How will you approach this?” During: “What’s making sense right now?” After: “What will you try differently next time?” These simple prompts build stronger, more independent learners.

111

AERA TEPSig (Teaching Educational Psychology SIG) @aeratepsig.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Neuroplasticity in the classroom Teach students that effort reshapes the brain. Encourage them to select what matters, shift away from distractions, use spaced practice, and build brief focus routines. Small habits strengthen new pathways and lasting learning.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Reducing cognitive load! Organize materials so students aren’t juggling too much at once. Pair visuals with explanations, break tasks into steps, use worked examples, & cut redundancy. Small design choices free up attention for real understanding.

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3): Promoting autonomy in thinking! Ask students to explain their reasoning, compare ideas, & explore multiple approaches. A simple shift from, “What do you choose?” to “How are you thinking about this?” can build deeper engagement and independent learning ✨

It's about halfway through the semester! Today our T3 is about social-emotional learning. While most of our work as scholars involves academic learning, social-emotional learning is equally important and helps students perform better and gives them key skills to navigate the complexities of life.

Promoting Social-Emotional Learning in the Classroom
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is associated with improved student well-being and performance. SEL involves five key areas: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, social awareness, and relationship skills.
As teachers, we can explicitly promote students' competency in the five SEL areas using a variety of brief activities that include but aren't limited to:
Having students write a self-compassion letter about an aspect of themselves they don't like while expressing expression and understanding
Having students identify a realistic goal and explicitly document the steps they need to take to achieve their goal
Having students complete a stress reappraisal activity to identify current stressors and reframing them
To learn more about SEL, see the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) website. For details on how to implement SEL activities in your classroom (or outside of class), see Stocker and Gallagher (2019) and Gallagher and Stocker (2018).

Happy Teaching Tuesday! This time, we're excited to share with you about mindfulness and how we as teachers can promote student mindfulness in our classroom. We can also apply many of these practices to our own lives! Email nguyen.2319@buckeyemail.osu.edu or taylorml9@vcu.edu to suggest your own T3!

Incorporating Mindfulness in the Classroom
Many students experience a lot of stress, both academic and non-academic, that can negatively affect their learning process and experience. Teachers can help students better manage these stressors by incorporating mindfulness practices in the classroom that encourage students to be more intentional, attentive, and aware of the present without judgement.
Teachers can promote mindfulness by implementing brief activities and techniques such as:
Activities that encourage more deliberate attention to their breathing (see here for examples)
Meditation activities that help students become more aware of their physical state (see here for examples)
Contemplative activities that encourage students to become more aware of their thoughts and emotions (see here for example)
To learn more about the effects of mindfulness practices on student learning, socio-emotional outcomes, and well-being, see Nagpal & Radliff (2023), Verhaeghen (2023), Vilvens et al. (2020).
Like other T3's, this one will be posted to our TEPSIG Grad Bluesky page. See here for previous T3's we've sent out. Feel free to share with colleagues who could use this!

Happy Teaching Tuesday! (on a Thursday, we listen and we don't judge 🙂) Today's T3 is about being transparent with students about what, why, and how they will learn course content, which emphasizes the learning partnership between you and your students!

Transparency in Teaching
By enacting transparent teaching practices and being upfront with students about what and how they will learn, teachers can help students engage more deeply in their learning process and promote adaptive motivation and metacognition.
Some examples of transparent teaching methods include:
A) Inviting students to help plan class agendas and activities in advance to select subtopics they wish to learn more about;
B) Debriefing assignments, exams, or papers with the entire class to common patterns and open up discussions for how students can improve in the future;
C) Verbalize students' thinking processes during class discussions and invite students to share their thought processes.
To learn more about transparency in learning and teaching, see Winkelmes (2023), Copeland et al. (2018), and Anderson et al. (2013). The Transparency in Learning and Teaching website also has many resources for teachers and students.

Happy Teaching Tuesday! Given the social nature of many learning activities, especially project-based learning, today we want to share with you a tip on how to help students socially regulate their learning when collaborating in groups!

Promoting Socially Shared Regulation of Learning in Collaborative Groups
Socially shared regulation of learning (SSRL) refers to collectively shared or interdependent regulatory processes, beliefs, and knowledge by members of a group when working together. As teachers, we can help students practice metacognitive awareness, group planning, and group reflection through the use of prompts, scripts, or structured time prior to or during group work.
There are five principles to promote SSRL for collaborative work. They are applicable at all stages of a group project/activity.
Create opportunities for students to monitor their group's progress
Have students identify potential issues their group might encounter
Encourage students to come up with solutions as a group to address issues
Encourage students to develop a priority list for team tasks
Have students assign their group members to specific tasks
To learn more about how to create prompts to guide students as they work in groups, see Kim & Lim (2018). For more information on SSRL, see Panadero & Järvelä (2015).
