Josh Luckens interviews Dr. Saundra McGuire, who shares personal philosophies and inspiring stories from her decades as a leader in higher education.
Dr. Saundra McGuire is internationally acclaimed learning specialist who has been teaching students a rich tapestry of strategies for improving their study skills and achieving academic success for over 50 years as a Professor of Chemistry and as the Director Emerita of the Center for Academic Success at Louisiana State University. She is the author of multiple books, including “Teach Students How to Learn: Strategies You Can Incorporate Into Any Course to Improve Student Metacognition, Study Skills, and Motivation.”
Dr. McGuire shares how she transformed as an educator as she investigated how students learn best, why she chose to make metacognitive equity her life's work, and how to turn student success into a virtuous cycle.
In her words: “My mission is to help others reach their potential. Very often, the only confidence that students have is the confidence that we give them. To be educated means that you know that you can always learn anything as long as you are genuinely interested, put your mind to it, and have the appropriate learning strategies.”
