DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne of the hidden keys to students' success is emotional regulation, or their ability to effectively identify and respond to their emotions in a calm, balanced way. Many disruptive behaviors are the result of dysregulation-when students feel stressed, unheard, or unsafe-and they are not malicious or intentional. In this quick reference guide, Jodi Place uses brain science to explain how student behavior is a form of communication that teachers need to learn how to interpret and respond to in helpful ways. Supporting Emotional Regulation in the Classroom provides tips and strategies to identify the signs and symptoms of dysregulation, where teacher-student communication can break down, and how teachers set the stage for a calm and supportive classroom culture.8.5" x 11" 3-panel foldout guide (6 pages), laminated for extra durability and 3-hole-punched for binder storage.
