Practical Ideas and Strategies

Do you have students who have trouble getting along with others, don’t know how to appropriately interact with their peers, have a hard time starting and finishing work, don’t like to change routines, have anxiety that interferes with their ability to focus, and/or can’t seem to regulate their emotions? All of these behaviors may be attributed to the lack of skills needed to self?regulate. Some students come to us knowing how to recognize and control these emotions, but many do not. This research?based seminar will help you teach students who have self?regulation deficits to begin to recognize and control their emotions and actions. You will learn strategies that you can use immediately to teach your K?6 students who lack the skills required to think before they act.

Don’t miss this day filled with practical strategies you can teach your students in the way they learn best and will give them tools to self-regulate their behavior!

A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

We don’t admonish our students if they don’t know how to read, write or do math. Rather, we teach, reteach, practice, and review with them. Yet, on a daily basis, students are directed to behave rather than guided through the process of what behaving, or self?regulating, means and how they can begin to act in ways that will get them what they really want in school – success, both socially and academically.

We know, through research, that each brain develops differently and that self?regulation of emotions and actions may not come naturally to all students, and in many cases, students need to be taught these skills using some of the same strategies we use to teach reading, writing and math. That is what this seminar is all about! I will share dozens of ideas you can use to help all your students be more successful socially and academically, in and outside of school. Included throughout the day will be creative ways to reduce impulsive, negative behaviors and to help students think and even plan, before acting! We will cover skills to help students become more organized, begin and finish tasks, follow directions, and communicate more effectively with peers and teachers.

By the end of our day together, you will realize these strategies will help all the students in your classroom. My goal is to give you a plethora of strategies so you can empower your students to problem solve and become more independent in using self?regulation skills.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing specific strategies that you can implement immediately to reduce problems due to students’ lack of self?regulation skills and help them become independent and successful in school.

Sincerely,
Kathy Morris
