This book shows how principles of self-regulated learning are being implemented in secondary
classrooms. The 14 chapters are theoretically driven and supported by empirical research and
address all common high school content areas. The book comprises 29 lesson plans in English
language arts natural and physical sciences social studies mathematics foreign language
art music health and physical education. Additionally the chapters address students with
special needs technology and homework. Each chapter begins with one or more lesson plans
written by master teachers followed by narratives explaining how the lesson plans were
implemented. The chapters conclude with an analysis written by expert researchers of the
self-regulated learning elements in the lessons. Each lesson and each analysis incorporate
relevant educational standards for that area. Different types of high schools in several states
serve as venues. This powerful new book edited by Maria K. DiBenedetto provides a unique and
invaluable resource for both secondary teachers and researchers committed to supporting
adolescents in the development of academic self-regulation. Each chapter is jointly written by
teachers who provide a wealth of materials including lesson plans and researchers who situate
these lesson plans and academic self-regulation goals within the larger work on
self-regulation. The topics covered are far broader than any other book I have seen in terms of
developing academic self-regulation covering over a dozen content areas including literacy
mathematics social studies the sciences and the arts. Teachers and scholars alike will find
this book a must read. Karen Harris EdD Arizona State University A practical and magnificent
blend of educational research and application. This book goes beyond presenting the findings of
research on self regulation by connecting detailed strategies that align with the standards to
the research. DiBenedetto et al. clearly illustrate how to develop self regulated learners in
the classroom. A refreshing must read for all secondary educators and educational researchers
seeking to be well grounded in education research and practical application techniques. Heather
Brookman PhD Fusion Academy- Park Avenue Self-regulated learning is a research-based process
by which teachers help students realize their own role in the learning process. Connecting
Self-Regulated Learning and Performance with Instruction Across High School Content Areas
consists of model teachers' lessons and analyses by prominent educational psychologists in the
field of self-regulated learning. The book provides teachers with the tools needed to increase
students' awareness of learning and inspires all educators to use self-regulated learning to
promote engagement motivation and achievement in their students. The book also provides
administrators with the principles needed to infuse evidenced based self-regulated learning
into their curriculum and instruction. I highly recommend the book! Marty Richburg Northside
