Self-regulation is the ability to adjust one's level of energy to match the situation; monitor, evaluate and modify one's emotion; shift attention or ignore various stimuli; engage in social interactions in a sustained way; and connect and empathize with other people. This research explored self-regulation among teachers as a factor in student learning and co-regulation in the classroom environment. A quantitative survey and qualitative interviews answered the following research question: Overall, what are the impacts of the education system on teacher self-regulation? Exploring teacher perspectives opens the door to including their opinions on all aspects of the educational system and its impact on their wellness on a personal and professional level. The research aimed to promote a better awareness of teacher needs and of ways to support them, and to motivate the development of better student supports as a result.
