Self-management is a strategy in which a student keeps track of his/her own behavior, either for the purpose of increasing a positive behavior or skill or for the purpose of decreasing a problem behavior. Self-management is a valuable intervention because it empowers the student to monitor and change his/her own behavior; the student is his/her own agent of change rather than depending on adults to bring about change.
Self-management has been used with many students of different ages and with varying abilities. Self-management also can be individualized to meet the student’s specific behavioral and academic concerns. Self-management has been used to improve:
