Self-Regulation for Adolescents: Teaching Middle School Students to Manage Their Own Behavior

By Stephen W. Smith and Michelle Cumming

The purpose of this book is to be a resource for general and special education teachers and other school professionals in using evidence-based approaches to teach self-regulation strategies to early adolescent students who exhibit behavior problems in late elementary school and middle school. There are limited practical school-based, guidance books that are rooted in robust theory and research that focus on teaching early adolescents' self-regulation skills - skills critical to school- and life-long success. Educators will gain an in-depth understanding of the theory, research, and application of self-regulation instruction as it relates to early adolescents' behavioral competence and school- and life-long success. With an emphasis on fostering student self-regulation skill development in the areas of goal setting, emotion regulation, and social problem solving, readers will be able to incorporate evidence-based strategies rooted in a cognitive-behavioral approach to build early adolescent competence in each of these areas.
