Goal

To create an environment that fosters learning and helps set our students up for successful future paths and promotes positive interactions amongst students and staff.


 

What will be done with my students

The Mightier Program teaches Emotional regulation,
Emotional intelligence, and Resilience Mindfulness. How does it work? By, Making emotions visible - A heart rate monitor brings emotions onto the screen so players can see what they are feeling. By, Facing challenges - As the player’s heart rate increases, the games get more challenging. By, Practicing in the moment - Challenging moments give the player opportunities to practice calming skills. By, Offering Rewards! - Players collect characters and move through different worlds the better they get at staying calm! The research proved that meeting kids at their level and making learning fun works. Three studies over 7 years showed that kids built skills, behavior improved and stress at home declined. The technology behind Mightier has been tested in four trials, including two double-blind, randomized controlled trials.

Flexible seating will allow our intensive behavior students a daily benefit of releasing energy while also staying focused in an educational setting.

Noise canceling headphones will allow our students the ability to drown out distractions from classroom noises. This will allow them to stay focused on any district wide computer based programs.
 

Benefits to my students

The outcome of all of these items will help our students be successful in a well maintained behavior management program, which also will prepare them for their future choices, such as high school, college, and the workforce.
Research has proven that the benefits of flexible seating allow students to learn better and students feel empowered by having some degree of choice and control over their environment.
Research has shown that targeting social emotional learning provides academic success and fewer behavioral problems.
Students will succeed by showing academic growth in class work, assessments, quarter bench marks, Florida standard assessment, which all align with the Florida state standards.
We are a Intensive Behavior Intervention program serving currently 19 students, 3 teachers, 6 classroom assistants, 1 behavior analyst, and 1 school therapist.
