Ample teacher-tested tools and templates are also included to help you create authentic learning experiences and deliver effective feedback.

• Develop students' planning abilities for both personal and academic goals through SEL instruction.
• Guide students in adjusting plans when faced with obstacles while teaching self regulation in the classroom.
• Study real-life scenarios of how to shift from regulating for students to coaching students to self-regulate.
