The implementation of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts created new challenges for existing teachers and pre-service instructors who were faced with the need to adapt to new expectations and alter curriculum. For many, generating and maintaining student motivation in the face of the new federally-mandated guidelines remains a key concern. Self-regulated learning, a cutting-edge process by which students self-generated thoughts, feelings, and goals drive them to academic success, provides a psychologically-founded approach to this problem. Until now, CCSS literature has focused on triage instead of adopting a holistic approach to the new challenges posed by standards. Through the framework of educational psychology, this book does just that, teaching students to take advantage of developmental psychology in their teaching in order to build programs that work to maximize the positive potential of CCSS.

Addressing first how students develop self-regulatory competence, and then on the three phases of self-regulated learning, this book provides an integrative framework designed to meet the demands of the Common Core State Standards. Designed to communicate the underlying psychological theory while laying out immediately accessible applications, this book is perfect for anyone preparing to teach K-12, as well as current teachers looking to adjust their style to better address the Common Core State Standards.
