Abstract

As students’ emotional self-regulation impacts their engagement in learning, as well as their mental health, researchers have called for schools to implement systems of emotional support. However, because school resources are limited, and the demands on teachers’ time continue to grow, identifying emotional self-regulation interventions that teachers can easily implement within their classrooms can be beneficial for student well-being. This study examined the effects of a Tier 1 Self-Regulation Intervention on student engagement and reading comprehension. Within an A-B-A-B-A-B reversal design, a pilot self-regulation intervention was implemented in two classrooms over six weeks. The study’s results indicated that the intervention may have positively impacted student engagement and reading comprehension. Given the study’s positive results, the intervention may be a strategy to support student emotional regulation. Future researchers should consider the benefits of the intervention in larger social and behavioral schoolwide systems, such as MTSS.
