As educators, we strive to provide the best possible learning environments in support of our commitment to Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day. Our capacity to do that is increasing dramatically through great advances in brain research that have direct implications on our teaching and learning, thanks to the strengthening connections between neuroscience and education.
Today, we know so much more about the brain and about students’ ability to function in a calm, focused and alert way. Join colleagues to learn more about how self-regulation is making a difference to learners, to educators and to classrooms, schools and communities.
During this full day session, you will:
- build an understanding of the basics of self-regulation and its role in social/emotional learning for individual children and learner cohorts
- hear about self-regulation fundamentals and strategies related to what we know about the conditions that promote learning.
- have opportunities to hear and see examples of self-regulation concepts and strategies that enhance students’ ability to put the self in self-regulation and develop resilience and capacity to cope with the multiple stressors that are part of daily life.
Self-Regulation: What is it and why is it important for learning?
