EDU3005 - Using Self-Monitoring Strategies to Improve Academic Performance

Kapiolani Community College - CECS

Course Description

Self-monitoring is a self-management strategy that involves teaching students how to monitor, observe, record, and change their own behavior (Vanderbilt, 2005). Self-monitoring is a feasible and potentially effective practice to support the academic and behavioral performance of students with multiple needs (Carr & Punzo, 1993; Mooney, Ryan, Uhing, Reid, & Epstein, 2005). Self-monitoring interventions can be structured and implemented in a variety of ways, often requiring minimal classroom resources (e.g, teacher time; Lane, Menzies, Bruhn, and Crnobori, 2011; Menzies, Lane & Lee, 2009). Topics will include an overview of self-monitoring strategies, supporting research for its use, the efficacy of self-monitoring, and examples across various grade levels and settings. Participants are encouraged to bring a school-site team member or one other faculty member.

Learner Outcomes

By the end of the course, the participants will be able to:

Implement self-monitoring in your classroom by introducing a research-based approach for conducting self-monitoring interventions to address academic and behavioral issues with individual students.
