Transition Resets: A School District’s Guide for Emotion Regulation
Thursday, March 6 at 1 p.m.
Students often lack the skills and have difficulty recognizing opportunities to regulate their emotions. Transition resets embed mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques into students’ daily school routines. With frequent repetition, resetting can become a transferable skill that is easily accessed when students are overwhelmed. The more students learn the value of resetting, the more they will begin to learn to reset themselves and encourage others to do the same.
