Session Description:
Are you looking for a way to engage with the Zones of Regulation in your classroom? Develop an understanding of self-regulation strategies and approaches using technology to help your students regulate their emotions. Learn tools and problem-solving skills to change the way students are thinking and feeling.
Purpose:
Developing well-rounded students is like putting together a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle where pieces should all fit together, but it’s not as easy as it looks. You make progress before being stymied by trying to find the perfect fit for a puzzle piece.
The purpose and objective of this session are to develop an understanding of self-regulation strategies and approaches. It is complicated for students to understand what they’re feeling and to channel those feelings in ways that help them be better people and better learners. Emotional intelligence is imperative for student success: knowing what emotions are, how they work, and how to use them and manage them for social interaction and learning. Students also need the capacity to recognize other people’s emotions, to discriminate among the different feelings, and to label them appropriately to be successful in an ever-changing world. For example, using Google Forms, polls integrated into an LMS, and other data collection resources provide teachers the opportunity to analyze the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the social and emotional components of learning.
Objectives:
-
- Develop an understanding of self-regulation strategies and approaches;
- Expand upon social thinking approaches to help guide social and emotional development;
- Deepen students’ understanding of how to self-regulate;
- Analyze the scope of who benefits from accessible materials.
