Self-Regulated Learning Interventions with At-Risk Youth: Enhancing Adaptability, Performance, and Well-Being

Students dealing with cognitive, physical, mental health, and environmental challenges often have poor self-regulatory skills. They may struggle with planning and goal-setting and have difficulty monitoring their own thoughts and actions. This resource for teachers and other professionals provides helpful strategies for students challenged by problems ranging from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder to conduct disorders to language learning deficits to disadvantaged backgrounds. The contributors discuss and illustrate the key components of effective self-regulatory learning, with a particular focus on the central role of feedback loops. Featuring a wide range of nationally known experts who draw on the latest theory- and research-based interventions, the book provides compelling evidence that self-regulated learning interventions are effective and powerful.
