Self-Management by Transforming Education https://padlet.com/TransformEd/selfmanagement Self-Management is the ability to effectively manage your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in different situations. This includes managing stress, delaying gratification, motivating yourself, and setting and working toward personal and academic goals. Students with strong self-management skills arrive to class prepared, pay attention, follow directions, allow others to speak without interruption, and work independently with focus.

TransformEd https://padlet.com/TransformEd/selfmanagement/wish/245128735 Help students “prepare” to learn by having them build a checklist and set aside time at the beginning of class for them to assess their readiness to learn: “Do I have all the tools to learn? Books, pen, notebook, assignments…” Track the results so that students can see progress over time. ]]> 2018-03-22 17:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/TransformEd/selfmanagement/wish/245128735 Behavior Checks. TransformEd https://padlet.com/TransformEd/selfmanagement/wish/245129048 Create a simple series of expectations for students that they can track. Have students rate themselves and record their results at the end of each class. Consider the following questions: 
- Am I listening to others? 
- Am I waiting for people to finish before I talk? 
- Am I using appropriate language to disagree?
- Am I using an appropriate tone and not raising my voice?

TransformEd https://padlet.com/TransformEd/selfmanagement/wish/245129249 Help students understand when they learn best so that they can seek out and create situations to maximize their learning. Have each student:
- Create a list that completes the phrase, “I focus best when…” 
- Identify three things to seek and three things to avoid related to when they learn best. Have them keep a record of how often these situations occur and track their progress over time.

- Wish: Students name an important but feasible wish or goal that they want to fulfill.
- Outcome: Students imagine, as vividly as possible, what the future will be like once they fulfill this wish or reach the goal.
- Obstacle: Students imagine the most critical personal obstacle that stands in the way of fulfilling that wish or reaching the goal.
- Plan: Students name an effective behavior to overcome the obstacle and create a specific plan using an if-then statement: “If X happens, then I will do Y.”
