What Pathway 2 Includes
Pathway 2 is built as a four-part institutional implementation pathway. It combines student-facing tools, practitioner-facing resources, a shared activation experience, and ongoing support so the system functions as a coordinated infrastructure layer rather than as a loose collection of resources.
1. The Five Learning Practice Tools
Students receive access to the full Metacognitive Moves toolset through the password-protected Student Hub, giving them one coordinated place to use the complete system during real academic work.
2. Staff Hub & Practitioner Resources
TheB Optimal Staff Hub provides the facilitation resources practitioners use to integrate the tools into advising, tutoring, coaching, classrooms, and student success environments.
3. System Activation Workshop
A half-day facilitated workshop introduces the framework, demonstrates how the tools function together, and helps cross-functional teams identify practical integration points across campus.
4. Implementation Support
Post-workshop follow-up and ongoing support help institutions answer early questions, clarify integration strategies, and begin using the system confidently across learning environments.
Component 1 · Student Tools + Student Hub
Students receive access to the full Metacognitive Moves toolset through the dedicated password-protected Student Hub. The hub gives learners one coordinated place to access the tools, while the tools themselves structure the core practices students use to manage real academic work across the semester.
- Semester OS — organizes coursework, deadlines, support resources, and semester structure
- Project Roadmap — guides students through complex assignments in manageable phases
- Exam PrepSmart — supports strategic exam preparation and readiness checking
- STARR Lite — structures reflection so students can identify learning and transfer insight forward
- Goal Builder — supports meaningful goal setting and forward planning
Structured learning practices:
Organize work
Plan action
Prepare for challenges
Reflect on results
Set direction
Component 2 · Staff Hub
Pathway 2 includes a dedicated Staff Hub, which provides the practitioner-facing resources used to integrate the system into advising, tutoring, coaching, classrooms, and student success work. The hub functions as the implementation home base for facilitation guidance, shared language, and practical integration support to helps staff use the tools consistently across roles and environments.
- Metacognitive Foundations — establishes the conceptual grounding for the four metacognitive phases and a shared language across roles
- The Metacognitive Wheel — surfaces student thinking during real academic work through 21 metacognitive moves across four phases
- Facilitator Guides — built-in implementation guidance for tutors, educators, advisors, and coaches
- The Metacognitive Crosswalk — provides coaching prompts, facilitation strategies, and observable signals for integrating metacognitive practice
- The Student Journey Matrix — shows how the system aligns with major student success initiatives and stages of the academic journey
- Recognizing Metacognitive Growth — makes metacognitive development visible through observable signals across awareness, learning, behavior, and academic outcomes
- Skills in Action — helps learners and educators identify transferable skills embedded in academic work and connect them to career readiness
These resources help institutions build coherence across roles by giving faculty, tutors, advisors, and coaches a shared way to recognize and reinforce the same learning practices.
Component 3 · System Activation Workshop
Every institutional license includes a half-day Metacognitive Moves System Activation Workshop.
This facilitated workshop introduces the framework, demonstrates how the tools function together, and helps teams identify practical integration points across campus.
What Participants Experience
Understanding the Learning Practice Gap
Why students struggle with planning, monitoring, evaluating, and reflecting — and why traditional support alone does not address it
The Metacognitive Moves Framework
The metacognitive phases guiding the system and how they show up across academic work
Learning Practice Labs
Short, guided activities that demonstrate how the tools structure real academic work
Cross-Role Integration
Faculty, tutors, advisors, and success staff identify where learning practice already occurs and how the system strengthens those moments
Growth Recognition
Clarify what staff will start to recognize in learning practices resulting from tool usage
Activation Planning
Institutional teams identify practical starting points across classrooms, tutoring, advising, and student support environments
Typical participants
Cross-functional campus teams
- Faculty and instructors
- Tutors and tutoring center staff
- Academic advisors and success coaches
- First-year experience program staff
- Learning center professionals
- Student success and retention leaders
- Teaching and learning center staff
- Career services staff
- Athletics academic support staff
Workshop format
Delivery structure
4.5–5 hrs
- 4.5–5 hour facilitated workshop
- Designed for cross-functional teams supporting student learning
- Participants work with real assignments, projects, and assessments from their own courses and programs
- Tools are experienced as learners first, then explored as facilitation resources
- Discussion and planning focus on real academic contexts students are already navigating
- Institutional teams identify practical integration points that can be implemented immediately
Component 4 · Implementation Support
Following the workshop, institutions receive structured support to help activate the system and begin integration across learning environments.
Post-Workshop Follow-Up
We reconnect with your team after activation to answer early questions, clarify integration strategies, and support first-stage use of the system.
Ongoing Support
As institutions begin using the system, teams can reach out with questions about tool use, facilitation strategies, and integration within advising, tutoring, courses, and coaching. Support requests receive responses within 1–2 business days.
Designed for Institutional Integration
Institutions commonly implement Pathway 2 across first-year courses, tutoring and learning centers, advising and success coaching, gateway courses, and broader student success initiatives. The value of Pathway 2 is not only that students gain access to five coordinated tools. It is that the institution gains a shared framework for supporting learning practice across environments.
- Shared language across faculty, tutors, advisors, and coaches
- Coordinated reinforcement of the same learning practices in different contexts
- A clearer institutional structure for how academic work is supported
- A stronger implementation layer than isolated tool adoption can provide
