ZONES is off to a great start



 ZONES of regulation group
December 11, 2013

We had some good discussion about the norms of collaboration, and realized that they are all interrelated, and that it was hard to pick one that seemed most important because they all are, and we all valued them. 
Our focus for the next while is going to be studying the Zones of Regulation – the terms and concepts underlying the program, and how the concepts are applied to self-regulation (strategies and tools).
Thorough understanding of the Zones concepts will enable us to support the students in implementing the concepts. We will know the students have learned the concepts when they can identify the zone they are in and use tools to bring themselves into the expected zone. Measurement of this can be by observation of student behaviour, questioning students, and student self-assessment.
