Educators and students interested in the topic of
self-management will find this a highly practical guide that
incorporates technology in the instructional design. . . . This
book is a rich resource that responds to a nationally recognized
goal of developing independent, lifelong learners. "Choice"
Written for students in educational psychology, elementary and
secondary education programs as well as for teachers and school
administrators, this book prepares educators to teach students to
learn and solve problems either independently or cooperatively. In
clear and practical terms, Michael Medland provides the theory,
curriculum, skills, and procedures to teach self-management skills
in a classroom, school, or district. Going far beyond textbooks
which simply train educators to discipline students,
"Self-Management StrategieS" presents a workable solution to one of
today's most pressing educational problems: how to prepare students
to manage their futures once they leave school. Medland guides the
skill development of teachers and other school personnel so that
they can teach students a system of strategies that includes
planning, learning, organizing, supervising, intervening, helping,
and sharing within individual and group activities--and thereby
help ensure their success in the world outside the classroom.
Divided into four parts, the book begins by showing how to
establish an environment in which one can teach students
sophisticated self-management strategies. Part II addresses
self-management teaching skills. Medland demonstrates how to talk
to and question students, how to formulate and use example sets and
postings, and how to effectively correct behavior. The third part
outlines teaching the self-management system strategies to
students. It analyzes each of the strategies and describes teaching
procedures and their transfer to other contexts such as home or
on-the-job. Finally, Medland presents the theory and planning
procedures that guide the building of a day-to-day instructional
program. Separate chapters examine planning, implementing, and
adapting the self-management program to meet the specific needs of
a classroom, schools, or district. Numerous explanatory tables and
figures enhance the text. By presenting a well-developed and easily
implemented curriculum, Medland provides an indispensable resource
for educators interested in teaching students to manage themselves
in their world.
