A de-escalation room is a designated space to help students manage their emotions and behaviors during moments of crisis or heightened stress. If DonorsChoose.org funds us, this project will provide essential tools, calming resources, and training to support students' emotional health and conflict resolution. By funding these initiatives, donors can create a more supportive and peaceful learning environment while helping to curb reactive disciplinary measures.
Items may include sensory tools, calming visuals, books on emotional regulation, and furniture conducive to relaxation.
These resources help students learn to manage their emotions, reduce anxiety, and regain focus, ultimately improving their overall engagement and success in the classroom. By supporting de-escalation rooms, educators can create nurturing environments that promote mental health and foster positive behavioral outcomes for students.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
