The Missing Link: How Empathy and Clarity Can Unlock Metacognition.

In this dynamic session, Dr. Laurie Faith explores how empathy and clarity in the classroom can create the conditions for deeper student reflection, self-regulation, and metacognitive growth. Drawing on her experiences as a classroom teacher and researcher, Dr. Faith introduces the Barriers and Strategies Protocol—a practical, whole-class approach to nurturing executive function and supporting students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and diverse learning profiles. Through engaging storytelling, classroom examples, and research insights, Dr. Faith unpacks how educators can foster inclusive, emotionally safe environments where students feel empowered to think strategically about their learning. She shares powerful tools—including emotion validation techniques and a simple classroom template—to help educators support overwhelmed learners and handle moments of frustration with care.
