Hillsborough Education Foundation School and Classroom Enrichment Grants
Thank you to the following investor for funding this grant.
Hillsborough Education Foundation - $400.00
The goal of this project is to help students learn how to self-regulate when they feel a variety of different emotions at school. The calm corners will be a place where teachers may send students who need a break with the school counselor, social worker or psychologist. Student services personnel in the calm corner will model appropriate and effective strategies to regulate emotions so that students can return to class ready to learn. The calm corner will also serve as an example for teachers who would like to create a safe place in their classroom and will provide resources for teachers to be more equipped to help students regulate emotions.
This project benefits students by increasing their engagement in instruction. When students learn to self-regulate, they will eventually become proficient in emotional regulation and spend less time engaged in inappropriate behaviors which take away from their learning. It will benefit teachers by allowing them to focus on academic instruction and by increasing their confidence in helping our students learn to self-regulate.
Students will spend less time being removed from class, will have fewer behaviors documented in behavior tracker, have less discipline referrals, and have fewer negative calls home to parents. This will increase the number of students who are successful with core Tier 1 classroom behavior management and reduce the number of students needing Tier 2 and 3 behavior intervention.
The items purchased for the calm corner include a variety of sensory objects meeting the sensory needs of sight, touch, and hearing. The resources allow for effective modeling of strategies for emotional regulation.
