Self-regulation is the one mental process that overrides obstacles that hinder planning, attention, learning, memory, and the coping skills required for students to achieve immediate goals and obtain long-term success. Without the skill to self-regulate, students will succumb to the whim of every thought, distraction, emotion, and desire. The lack of self-­regulation is the root of many of the behavioral and academic issues education faces today. The development of self-control enables students to transcend life's obstacles and engage in new skills that promote academic success. Therefore, educators should learn how to promote self-regulation in order to maximize student achievement. This keynote shares the steps found by neuroscience to promote self-regulation.
