Independent Reflection: Design a Self-Regulation Plan

1			Letitia is a high school student who doesn't have adequate self-regulatory skills; this in turn causes her to have serious academic problems. She doesn't plan or organize, has poor study strategies, and uses ineffective time management. Using Zimmerman's four-step strategy, design an effective self-regulation program for Letitia. (INTASC: Principle 5).

Collaborative Work: Decreasing Undesirable Behaviors

2			Together with three or four classmates, consider the following students' undesirable behaviors. You want to decrease the behaviors. What strategy seems best for each? Discuss and compare your strategies with the group. (1) Andrew, who likes to utter profanities every now and then; (2) Sandy, who tells you to quit bugging her when you ask her questions; (3) Matt, who likes to mess up other students' papers; and (4) Rebecca, who frequently talks with other students around her while you are explaining or demonstrating something. (INTASC: Principles 2, 5)

Research/Field Experience Reflections: "Sesame Street" and Social Cognitive Learning

3			Sesame Street uses many effective means to increase children's attention and help them learn. Watch an episode. Analyze the show. How were these techniques used on the show you watched? Describe any additional techniques you observed that you might be able to use in your classroom. (INTASC: Principles 2, 7, 9)
