Module 5: The Process of Developing Self-regulation: Understanding the Missing Pieces

It can be frustrating when we teach students certain skills, and they don’t seem to use them. This is especially true when it comes to behavior, and it’s easy to assume that students are intentionally being defiant. However, what if we told you that much of the social-emotional learning programming and teaching lacks important components? These missing pieces make it difficult for students to use strategies independently. The good news is that we can incorporate these vital elements by making only small shifts to daily routines. Learn a framework for using whole-brain approaches that include teaching specific skills and developing capacities that result in students being able to determine and apply strategies that work for them. We can provide students with the tools they need to succeed both academically and socially, by scaffolding the development of the skills they need to take responsibility for their own behaviors.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will identify essential skills and components often missing from universal programming and how to shift daily routines to include these elements.
• Participants will learn how to scaffold the development of self-regulation skills at each student’s level of readiness, helping them apply strategies independently and supporting long-term behavior change.
