Learning objectives By the end of this session, participants will be able to: Define self-regulation Understand the importance of self-regulation for formative assessment Feel familiar with the research base in this area Use actionable strategies to implement self- regulation interventions with students Train other adults using the materials provided
Self-regulation: Whats in a name? Self-control Emotional Competence Self- discipline Executive function Self- regulation Self-management
Self-regulation: Whats in a name? Self-Regulation Future orientation Self-control Perseverance Grit
Future orientation Future time perspective is a key feature that develops significantly in adolescence. Personally valued future goal Goal Self-regulatory behaviors Sub-goals achievement
Example of future orientation Marina was feeling a little lost during her junior year of high school. Part of her wanted to go to community college after high school to study child development, because she liked little kids and was interested in being a preschool teacher. But another part of her had always assumed she wouldn t go to college. She was worried about sliding into an unfulfilling job after high school and being unhappy. Her older sister encouraged her to volunteer a couple of days a week at a preschool to see if she really liked being a preschool teacher. She loved it, and found that she fit in really well with the teachers at the school. She decided to find out the requirements for admission in the child development program, and started studying hard to pull her grades up in order to apply.
Self-control Tune out distractions and temptations Stay on task Navigate obstacles
Perseverance and grit Perseverance and related constructs such as grit emphasize self-management and the ability to overcome setbacks Linked to the achievement of long-term goals, such as college attendance, but recent results are mixed.
Am I gritty? http://angeladuckworth.com/grit-scale/
Discussion about Grit Does the idea of grit risk blaming youth for their circumstances? How can adults take responsibility for fostering self-management, perseverance, and grit through changes to the environment?
How does self-regulation relate to formative assessment? Physical/physiological relationship Unregulated stress responses distract from thinking
How does self-regulation relate to formative assessment? Physical/physiological relationship Stress management minimizes the distraction
How does self-regulation relate to formative assessment? Metacognitive relationship Metacognition is thinking about one s own thinking Over time, students develop self-monitoring or self-assessment skills and new learning strategies Students thus regulate their own learning and become independent learners

Promoting self-regulation: What can we do? Tune out distractions and temptations Belonging Stress Stay on task management Navigate obstacles Mindfulness
Classroom strategies to promote self-regulation Start by promoting belonging
Classroom strategies to promote self-regulation Give students a quiet space they can retreat to if they need a few minutes to calm themselves Teach students to take slow, deep breaths when they re feeling stressed If kids have sports practice, recess, and/or PE, encourage them to advantage of those times to play and be active Encourage empathy and patience Practice mindfulness
Mindfulness experiment Students picture a safe place where they feel protected and in control a caring, supportive, and encouraging place. Before a task, students spend a few minutes breathing deeply and imagining their safe space. A small-group counseling intervention, Student Success Skills, was provided to 53 fourth- and fifth-grade African American students in an inner-city environment. Compared with the control group, students who received the treatment reported significant changes in metacognitive skill, feelings of connectedness to school, and executive function (related to self- regulation). Lemberger, M. E., & Clemens, E. V. (2012).
Exercise To Promote Self-Regulation: Possible Selves
Possible selves exercise Students take part in a workshop in which they are asked to imagine a future possible self, list the obstacles they might encounter to realizing that self, and strategies they can use to overcome the obstacles. An intervention designed to help low- income and minority eighth-graders imagine possible selves increased success in moving toward APS goals: academic initiative, standardized test scores, and improved grades. Depression, absences, and in-school misbehavior also declined. The effects were still present during a two-year follow-up. Oyserman, D., Bybee, D., & Terry, K. (2006)
Possible selves exercise Group discussions and/or writing exercises in which students reflect on their possible future selves to develop their vision of their own future Students imagine themselves as successful adults Students spend time connecting future possible selves to current school involvement Students plan a path to attain their vision
Possible selves exercise Expands sense of academic identity and engagement in school By promoting academic identity, students can build sense of belonging with school School is important to my future and I belong here.
