All of our students are progressing towards goals to manage their emotional needs while achieving academic success. We all know from experience how difficult it can be to concentrate on new material, develop complex thoughts, and persevere through difficult tasks when we are struggling with anxiety, anger, sadness, or restlessness. These challenges often lead to prolonged time outside the classroom and therefore more time away from educational material. Access to coping strategies within the classroom will lead to higher educational attainment. Chairs and meditation materials will be used to create calming spaces within our 2 therapeutic classrooms. Our students will be able to utilize learned strategies without having to leave the education environment or take prolonged time to transition back into the classroom. Our students will be able to take short "brain breaks" in order to center themselves and calmly return to their academic challenges.
