Self-regulation is the ability to control one's emotions, thoughts, and actions. It's a critical life skill that impacts every aspect of a person's wellbeing, including their academic success. Self-regulated learners are able to set goals and stick to them, stay focused and on task, manage their time wisely, and cope with stress and setbacks in a healthy way. As you can imagine, these skills are essential for success in the classroom and in life. Karen Braun is joining me on this episode to talk about self-regulation and how that impacts learners in the classroom and at home. Karen Braun is an Inclusive Education Specialist for Palliser School Division. She has been a teacher since 1983 and began working with students with behavioural and mental health challenges in 1990. This has been her passion ever since.

After working for a number of years within the constructs of more traditional approaches, Karen knew that there were any things that didn’t line up with what she believed in her heart. This started her on a journey of exploration and learning. As part of this journey, she found some excellent research by Dr. Stuart Shanker, the founder of The Mehrit Centre who echoed what she believed, “There is no such thing as a bad kid!” Karen loves to share and teach on regulation, trauma, behaviour strategies, collaborative problem solving and all things inclusive education.
