Reviews / Votes
"Richard Cash brings his high energy, positive approach to education, providing a road map of how to develop 21st century learners through an empathic understanding of the role of affect, behavior, and cognition. Excellent resource for teachers, psychologists, parents, and administrators." -- Teresa Argo Boatman, Ph.D., psychologist and gifted specialist "Dr. Cash provides frustrated teachers and parents with research-based answers and strategies to their questions. We know that students have a lot of information coming at them. They need our help and support to sort it, make sense of it, and use it to love learning. This book is exactly what we need." -- Patricia F. Willems, reading specialist at Bloomington Public Schools "Rich in research and theory but practical enough for Monday morning classroom activities, this book is for anyone looking to increase student engagement and help students regulate their thinking and behavior. Dr. Cash draws from his expertise to provide research-based strategies and ideas to help the highest achieving student or most reluctant learner. Whether you are a classroom teacher addressing diverse learning needs, a principal wanting to provide some key strategies for your teachers, or a district administrator searching for a professional development resource, Self-Regulation in the Classroom will be an invaluable resource you can return to again and again." -- Nathan Warner, M.Ed., assistant principal "This action-ready, comprehensive, beautifully organized resource full of power tools for student self-regulation is all a teacher needs to bring daily success to students." -- LeAnn Nickelsen, M.Ed., coauthor of Deeper Learning and Bringing the Common Core to Life "Self-Regulation in the Classroom is full of practical, specific ideas backed by current research for supporting all learners in today's classroom. Teachers now have the preeminent tool at their disposal for supporting self-regulation for learning." -- Tim Robinson, elementary GATE program coordinator, Washoe County School District "Dr. Cash has an uncanny ability to get right to the heart of the matter on how to become a self-regulated learner in any environment. He gives user-friendly strategies on how to create a personal desire within an individual to persevere in becoming a lifelong learner in our ever-changing society. Self-Regulation in the Classroom is a must read for any person who wants to assist others in becoming the best they can be." -- Barbara Morrison, M.Ed., Multi-categorical Instructor, Wittenberg-Birnamwood High SchoolMore details
