Grit. Determination. Mindset. Self-control.
All these terms are attributes of self-regulated learning, which is
the ability to manage impulses, stay focused on tasks through
completion, and develop a sense of autonomy in learning to achieve
academic success.
In Self-Regulation in the Classroom, Richard M. Cash translates
research and theory into easy-to-implement strategies and ideas you can
use to help students--with special needs and without--become
self-directed learners, including ways for them to:
- increase their engagement in learning
- boost their confidence
- avoid meaningless distraction
- develop effective study habits
- set and achieve goals
- use failure as a learning tool
- reflect and relax
A foundation for promoting positive behavior and executive function
skills, this book can help you meet the needs of all your learners
and help them reach their potential in the classroom and in the real
world.
The teacher and student forms, charts, and lists in the book are
downloadable for use in your classroom. Also available is a free study
guide to be used in PLCs and book study groups.
"Rich in research and theory but practical enough for Monday morning
classroom activities, this book is for anyone looking to increase
student engagement and help students regulate their thinking and
behavior."--Nathan Warner, M.Ed., assistant principal
