Description
'This outstanding book will help teachers with their understanding on supporting children with their behaviour.' - Laura Henry-Allain MBE, author, early education specialist and creator of Jojo and Gran Gran
This practical guide from bestselling education author Sue Cowley breaks down what self-regulation is, how it develops and and how you can support your learners to build and improve it.
The Ultimate Guide to Self-Regulation explains what self-regulation is and demonstrates how it relates to challenging learner behaviour, focus and attention, resilience and impulse control. Sue Cowley explains how it shows up in the everyday classroom, including how it relates to post-pandemic behavioural challenges, and offers easy-to-implement solutions to support learners of all ages. The book is broken down into two sections – the theory behind self-regulation, and how it develops in the classroom – and readers can dip in and out to find strategies as and when they need them.
Written in Sue's much-loved realistic, honest and practical style, The Ultimate Guide to Self-Regulation will help teachers, practitioners and support staff to improve outcomes for every learner.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Sue Cowley's new book, The Ultimate Guide to Self-Regulation in the Classroom. I love how Sue takes the reader on a step-by-step guide to self-regulation and has translated research into practical tips that teachers can use within their classrooms. It is important that anyone working with children has an understanding of how to give children the tools to self-regulate their behaviour and this outstanding book will help teachers to support children. The Ultimate Guide to Self-Regulation in the Classroom is a must for every teacher.
