Unlocking the Power of Self-Reg

It offers transformative insights and practical strategies for educators, parents, and anyone dedicated to creating optimal environments for learning and development.

What is the Self-Reg Schools Discussion Guide?
This guide is a companion piece to the publication Self-Reg Schools: A Handbook for Educators, co-authored by Stuart Shanker and Susan Hopkins. The goal of this guide is to enhance the reading and learning experience by encouraging discussions, reflection, and shared insights.
