Self-management is how we behave and how we manage our emotions. It is also learning how to stay focused, stay organized, and persevere. School can create stress for many students. For all of my classes, I always try to let my students start their homework in class. I understand how much these students take on and I believe the time they spend in school is the time they should be working on "homework". Outside of school is their time to decompress and do things they enjoy. I think allowing them time to practice their skills in class, helps relieve the stress of so much homework. I am also there to help them if they need me or if they have any questions. They learn to stay focused and organized so they can complete their work in the time allowed. The reward is being free from so much schoolwork when they get home and enjoying life.
