My Project
If students are expected to learn, thrive, grow, and achieve, they need to be emotionally regulated while accessing instruction. Our calming corner is called “Amygdala Reset Station”. Students were very excited to use it last year, but it lacked the needed resources.
I want our Amygdala Reset Station to be a space where my students feel they can go to self-regulate, relax, calm themselves, and find comfort when they feel overwhelmed, overstimulated or frustrated.
My students will benefit tremendously from these self-regulating tools and strategies to calm themselves so that learning can occur. It helps them to get away from the frustrating task or over-stimulating activity to de-escalate.
