Understanding Self-Regulation

This workshop helps educators explore and implement strategies to support students’ self-regulation skills—a foundational element of academic and life success. Participants will examine how self-regulation impacts learning, behavior, and mental health, and will deepen their understanding of how students acquire these skills. Through interactive activities and collaborative reflection, educators will leave with evidence-based strategies and tools to foster self-regulation in their classrooms.

• Students struggling to cope with stress, emotional disruptions, and challenging social situations.
  
  
• Lack of explicit instruction or consistent support for self-regulation in classroom environments.
  
  
• Increased behavioral challenges linked to external stressors and internal dysregulation.
