My Project

My Special Education Resource room will be serving K-2 students with some big feelings that can lead to unsafe and disruptive behaviors. Almost all of my students have an IEP goal for emotional regulation including learning strategies that will work for them.

Emotional regulation is a pre-requisite for learning academics and an important basic life skill.

When my students are emotionally regulated, they are ready to follow the group plan, have safe behavior, and be a positive member of the classroom community so that everyone can learn. They will carry these skills with them into adulthood as responsible citizens of a global community.
