evaluation and monitoring? Conscientious design of the learning environment
can provide the supports for students with visual impairments to feel confident
in more actively engaging in their learning.
Strategies for Developing Self-Regulated Learners in the ECC
Butler, Schnellert, and Perry (in press), provide a wealth of strategies
and considerations for supporting and developing student success as self-
regulated learners. This presentation focused on a few of these
considerations as a means to begin the discussion and reflection about how
we can interpret this model to better provide opportunities for thinking and
problem-solving
in our instruction within the ECC. One of the first shifts to
make in our instructional thinking is that we are not only building specific skills
in our lessons (i.e., disability specific skills in the ECC), but also fostering
thinking skills within the context of the content we are teaching. Each lesson
has the opportunity for students to practice self-regulated
learning and
engage in active problem-solving. The level of embedded supports and
guidance will vary from student to student, depending, again, on what the
learner is initially bringing to the learning task.
