Overview:
In this episode of the series, the team dives deep into the practical application of co-regulation strategies for supporting students with diverse needs in the classroom and beyond. Joining the conversation are Linda Murphy, author of The Co-Regulation Handbook, and Amanda Pinnigar, a special education resource teacher with the Upper Grand District School Board. Together with co-hosts Tara Ross and Kristen Smith, they explore real-life classroom scenarios and discuss how to integrate co-regulation and competent roles into everyday teaching practices. From supporting reluctant readers to fostering peer-to-peer interactions during recess, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable strategies to create a supportive learning environment.
Key Takeaways:
- Co-regulation isn’t just about the student; it’s about creating an environment where they can succeed. Establishing clear, manageable roles during tasks—whether in a whole group, small group, or individual setting—helps students feel competent and engaged.
- Declarative language is essential for students with developmental language disorders. Using explicit la00nguage to guide students through tasks and narrating the process fosters understanding and self-regulation.
- Peer-to-peer interactions can be a key avenue for social learning. Encouraging parallel or reciprocal play, and scaffolding these interactions, helps students with social-emotional challenges develop essential skills in a low-pressure environment.
- Teachers play an essential role in setting up success. Whether through creating competent roles, guiding peer interactions, or narrating the process, teachers are the architects of a supportive, co-regulated classroom environment.
