Goal

To provide an instructional space to teach children about the Zones of Regulation.  

Category

Class Furniture - Carpets, choral risers, transitional seating/desks, etc. 

What will be done with my students

Students will use the Zones of Regulation to identify and self regulate emotions. 

Benefits to my students

The Zones of Regulation is a cognitive behavior approach that helps people learn to self-regulate their emotions, behaviors, and sensory needs. It's a skills-based approach that organizes feelings, alertness, and energy levels into four colored zones.

The Zones can be compared to traffic signs. When given a green light or in the Green Zone, one is “good to go”. A yellow sign means be aware or take caution, which applies to the Yellow Zone. A red light or stop sign means stop, and when one is the Red Zone, this often is the case. The Blue Zone can be compared to the rest area signs where one goes to rest or re-energize. All of the zones are expected at one time or another, but the curriculum focuses on teaching students how to manage their Zone based on the environment and people around them. For example, when playing on the playground or in an active/competitive game, no one would think twice about one being in the Yellow Zone but that would not be same in the library. 

Budget Narrative

The materials will be used to set up a calming classroom that will support the Zones of Regulation curriculum. Students will be able to use this space to identify Zones and use the tools provided to regulate emotional responses.
