Self-regulation is the mental process that enables students to overcome obstacles that hinder planning, attention, learning, memory, and the coping skills necessary for achieving both immediate goals and long-term success. Without the skill to self-regulate, students will succumb to the whim of every thought, distraction, emotion, and desire. The lack of self-regulation is the root of many behavioral and academic issues education faces today. The development of self-control enables students to overcome life’s obstacles and acquire new skills that promote educational success (Inzlicht, Bartholow, & Hirsh, 2015). Therefore, educators must know how to develop self-regulation to maximize student achievement. Learn the key steps identified by neuroscience to promote self-regulation. The steps identified in the research have been found to help students who are placed at risk by life’s circumstances experience greater success in life.
