C62: Self-Management Skills for Homeroom (1-6); Specialist & Supporting - a podcast by Lu Gerlach

As a child advances in age, it’s assumed that they know how to manage themselves, because they are quiet, sit still, and complete assignments.  There is so much more to self-management than that.  

When I think of self-management, I compare it to ownership as part of learner agency.  Both of them are more difficult to define, because it’s part of our being of who we are.  We can’t do a quick strategy to develop self-management skills, which means they must be done over again through a duration of time. For those who want it one and done, this is going to be a growth area for you as you delve further into making it a vital part of your daily process.

In this episode, we will look at ways to increase learner self-management, so they can build up resilience through life’s toughest challenges. All of these ideas will be applicable for grades 1-6 homeroom, specialist, and supporting teachers.
