A new study has come out suggesting that teaching students about self-regulation and giving them daily report cards are the two interventions that are most likely to be effective in helping them learn.

You can read a summary of the research at How schools can optimise support for children with ADHD.

It says the lessons in self-regulation should happen on a one-to-one basis, though I’m not sure how realistic that can be. For info on how I teach this concept to my students, you can check out  Best Posts About Helping Students Develop Their Capacity For Self-Control.

I have seen the daily report card – or a version of it – work, especially if students are involved in determining which areas the want to improve.  You can read about how I’ve used it at A Look Back: “Mr. Ferlazzo, I Need My Post-It, Too.”

This study got me thinking it would be useful to create a “Best list on the topic.
