399: Teaching Students (and Ourselves!) to Run Self-Experiments
What’s the best way to motivate students (and ourselves) to change behaviors? One way is to teach them how to run self experiments. Through stories and examples, Megan and Gretchen discuss what it means to self-experiment, why it works, and how adults can model this skill better in our own lives so that we better support kids. Gretchen also invites you to download the following related resources: * A guide to how to talk to students in a way that encourages them to listen: www.gretchenwegner.com/consent* A list of available coaches, if you’d like another adult to teach them this skill: www.gretchenwegner.com/trained-coaches* An opportunity to be in conversation with Gretchen about how run experiments in real life, or in building your own academic coaching business! www.gretchenwegner.com/live
