Self-management scale

Self-management allows students to follow through on plans to complete assignments, study for tests, and stay focused in class. In adults, it is critical to reaching goals related to learning or life, like developing a new professional skill or keeping to a diet. This scale by Transform Education is a self-reported student survey asks students to reflect on and assess their self-management, and has been piloted and scaled in schools, most notably as part of the CORE Districts’ data measurement system in California.
