Making Sense of Managing Self - Teaching Responsibility to Improve Student Learning and Behaviour in New Zealand Schools – Rod Galloway

According to the revised New Zealand Curriculum, the Key Competency Managing Self is associated with self-motivation, a “can-do” attitude and students seeing themselves as capable learners. But it’s not just learning that needs to be self-managed. New Zealand principals now claim that disruptive behaviour is the most common classroom barrier to learning that they have to deal with. Experts and the media have repeatedly documented descriptions of these problems and the statistics that accompany them. By contrast, few real answers are ever offered to schools looking for evidence based, teacher friendly and successful strategies that improve student engagement. In this publication Rod Galloway explains…
    * How Managing Self taught as responsibility and respect must become a first priority as a way to improve student engagement and a context for building good character
    * How the Values and the Key Competencies suggested in the New Zealand curriculum have been successfully implemented using the Cornerstone Values approach to character education.
    * 40 proven ideas for implementing the Cornerstone Values approach to building character
