I am thrilled to announce the release of my new book, The Pedagogy of Self-Authorship: The Neurocognitive Impact of Science and Metacognition. This book is the result of my life's work and research as an educator and a neurodivergent learner in the special education system. It explores the power and potential of metacognition, the ability to think about one’s own thinking, in facilitating self-transformation, learning, and growth.
In this book, you will find:

• A comprehensive overview of the latest scientific findings on how metacognition influences learning, neuroplasticity, and self-development.
• A historical survey of metacognitive educational practices from ancient times to the present day, highlighting their benefits and challenges.
• A personal narrative of my own journey as a neurodivergent learner who experienced a profound transformation through metacognitive pedagogy.
• A series of interviews with experts from the Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL), who share their insights and experiences on using metacognitive pedagogy with neurodivergent students.
• A general framework for designing and implementing metacognitive instruction that integrates the scientific method with the development of an individual’s theory of mind, leading to enhanced problem-solving skills and personal growth.

This book is not only a scholarly contribution to the field of education, but also a practical guide for anyone who wants to support neurodivergent learners and employees, advocate for neurodiversity, or conduct critical disability studies research. It offers a vision of education that is based on freedom, equity, and empowerment, and that fosters the development of self-regulation, self-authorship, and self-transformation as the ultimate goals of learning.
If you are interested in learning about metacognitive pedagogy and how it can transform your life and the lives of others, I invite you to check out my book and share your feedback with me. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
