216. Implement Schoolwide Classroom Calm Down Corners
In today's episode, I am talking on the importance of creating a classroom calming corner - a designated safe space for students to manage their emotions. I'll be discussing the benefits of calming corners for teachers, counselors, and students, as well as practical steps for setting them up effectively. I'll also touch on how to handle potential pushback from teachers and strategies for implementing a school-wide approach to this valuable tool.
Some highlights from this episode include:
Identifying Calming corners as a toolkit to help students self-regulate and manage their emotions rather than a punishment
Highlighting the Benefits of calming corners which include happier teachers, less burdened counselors, and more regulated students.
How to set up Calming corners so they can be distinguished from the rest of the classroom and include visuals, soft furnishings, and a calm-down toolbox.
How to address potential teacher concerns and how taking a school-wide approach are key to successful implementation of calming corners.

Listen in and let me know what you think and what you plan to implement.

    According to the Zones of Regulation, it's not about getting back to the green zone. All zones/feelings are normal and valid. It's about helping students to regulate when they're in the other zones so they can manage.

      Once you make a form, go up to the eye symbol. Save that to your bookmarks, and when you want to fill it out, click that link. Then if you go back to the original form, it will show you the data.
