Synopsis

In their new book, Alison L. Bailey and Margaret Heritage illustrate how to help students become more self-regulated learners―that is, to be able to monitor and take charge of their own learning when working independently and in groups. Language provides the foundation for the development of self-regulatory skills, enabling students to express themselves and negotiate interactions with others; the demands of these self-regulatory processes in turn can support the development of rich vocabulary and social language skills. The authors also emphasize the role of formative assessment as a means of supporting students in engaging in language-rich, selfregulated learning.

Self-Regulation in Learning shows how classrooms can be intentionally designed to support ambitious learning. Detailed vignettes from real-life classrooms illustrate the teacher’s role in helping students gradually master the processes of selfregulation, socially shared regulation, and coregulation. Each chapter also includes strategies for addressing the needs of English learners in the general education classroom.

Students’ capacity for self-regulation is central to the set of outcomes that constitute college and career readiness: communicating and collaborating effectively, problem-solving, setting goals and following through on them, and applying knowledge in deep and rigorous ways. Self-Regulation in Learning represents an invaluable contribution to research-based classroom practice.

From the Back Cover

Self-Regulation in Learning: The Role of Language and Formative Assessment shows how classrooms can be intentionally designed to support ambitious learning. Alison L. Bailey and Margaret Heritage illustrate how to help students become more self-regulated learners--to be able to monitor and take charge of their own learning when working independently and in groups. Detailed vignettes from real-life classrooms highlight the teacher's role in helping students gradually master the processes of self-regulation, socially shared regulation, and coregulation. Each chapter also includes strategies for addressing the needs of English learners in the general education classroom. The book represents an invaluable contribution to research-based classroom practice.

"The regulatory practices outlined in this book have been transformational in my practice as an educator of English language learners. Students are now active participants in their own learning process and the learning of others regardless of language proficiency. The opportunities for meaningful discourse and the application of academic and social linguistic structures are unmatched."
--Jessica Richardson Kull, fourth-grade teacher, Sunnyside Unified School District, Tucson, Arizona

"Bailey and Heritage skillfully interweave research, rich and annotated classroom examples, and practical suggestions for how to develop students' self-, shared, and coregulation skills. The questions and tools at the end of key chapters support teachers' self-evaluation in their own classrooms. Self-Regulation in Learning represents a powerful combination of research and practice."
--Caroline Wylie, research director, Educational Testing Service

"Self-Regulation in Learning provides educators with the guidance to train students in self-assessment: to model, to provide structured opportunities for reflection, and to encourage students to take next steps to meet their own goals. In my classes, not only are we now functioning together as a community of learners, but my students feel more in control of their own learning."
--Julie M. Eilertsen, English teacher, Hamilton High School, Chandler, Arizona
