In this training, participants will 1) Define self-regulation and understand its role in student success and 2) Identify the stages of self-regulation development and how they build on each other.

Helping students manage their emotions and behavior is a critical part of supporting their success.

We'll break down what self-regulation really means, explore how the skill develops over time, and focus on practical strategies that work in real classrooms.
