Social Emotional Learning

Self-regulation skills are one of the biggest keys for success for students in the classroom. These are some of the skills that help students focus during lessons, wait their turn to share in group activities, transition to a new task when time is up, and start tasks right away. Self-regulation skills are extraordinarily important in the classroom, especially as we continue to place more and more demands on children and teens.

https://www.thepathway2success.com/15-classroom-practices-to-build-self-regulation-skills/

Over the next several weeks we will review one strategy at a time.

7. Developing Routines

Routines turn multi-step directions into habits for students. Consider what multi-step activities should have routines in your classroom. These may include coming in the classroom in the morning, starting morning work, turning homework in, finding homework if a student was out, getting with a group, and transitioning from one task to another.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

If you need mental health, financial, legal, or other assistance, try out our EAP. Your participation is totally confidential.
