Self-Regulated Learning: learners focus on the task process information meaningfully and monitor themselves.

learning can happen without immediate change in behavior (?)

The teacher's activities embody the Self-reflective cycle (figure 9.2 Snowman 191)
At the beginning of class the teacher sets expectations and goals. He then gives them a time frame.
They have to formulate strategies to achieve the task goal and have enough time to execute the plan.(Forethought)
The students then start to execute the plan. They are trying different tactics and focused on the goal during this time. They are also taking notes of what worked and did not. (Performance)
The students then evaluate the results. The teacher believes that there is something to be learned from failure, He almost always ensures failure by giving stringent time limits and only the supplies needs. The present what the results were and what they could change. (Self-Reflection) JMK

This video shows the Triadic Reciprocal Model (Snowman 187)
The teacher has created a positive learning environment (environmental factor) The students are working together in groups(interaction of personal characteristics) and each individuals choices (behavior) within the group affect the outcome.JMK

When the teacher uses the affirmations, he is using them with a group of kids that are not necessarily expected to or expect to go to college. By having these kids tell each other their aspirations and that they will be successful, he is helping them become motivated. It is type of self efficacy in practice. They are using verbal persuasion on themselves

learning tactic: a specific technique that uses a learner to accomplish an immediate learning objective

concept mapping : a comprehended directed tactic for identifying and visually representing on paper ideas that compromise a section of text and the ways they relate to each other

learning strategy : a general plan that a learner formulates for achieving a somewhat distant academic goal

mnemonic device : a memory directed tactic that helps a learner transform or organize information to enhance its retiviebality

I found an interesting list of suggestions at The Highly Effective Teacher, which included modeling the sort of monitoring of one's own emotions that we need to learn ("I'm starting to get frustrated right now, so I'm going to take a few seconds of silence to calm myself down before I say anything."), and asking them to come up with ways that they could manage their emotions too (David).

One idea that came to my mind was to go to comic books and find characters from my students' cultural or ethnic background, who model the sort of behavior that I want to see. For instance, I've heard that the new "Iron Man" in Marvel comics is actually an African-American girl named Riri Williams (from an article at Time). If I were teaching any sort of science class with dark-skinned girls in it (or maybe just any girls at all), I would go out of my way to learn everything I could about that character so that I could make use of that knowledge in class, and show my interest in something the students might also be interested in.
