This program focuses on cultivating self-regulated learners among students in high-poverty areas, ESL learners, and those with disabilities. It emphasizes the importance of organization, metacognition, collaboration, and motivation in student success. Classroom structures that support student-centered learning, effective goal setting, and collaborative opportunities are essential. Strategies include establishing consistent procedures, providing immediate feedback, and involving parents in student development. Through structured interventions, educators will create an environment that fosters self-control and accountability in at-risk students.
