Identification of physiological and behavioral cues indicating rising student agitation, including pacing, vocal changes, and withdrawal. Facilitates early intervention by distinguishing between baseline behavior and crisis-bound patterns.
A vibrant 5-page Zones of Regulation poster set featuring Inside Out inspired emotion characters. Includes an all-in-one classroom anchor chart and four individual zone deep-dive posters packed with body clues and coping strategies.
A 6-week Tier 3 intervention sequence designed for a student with an IEP, focusing on identifying triggers, developing coping strategies, and practicing self-regulation to manage anger and anxiety.
A two-session mini-unit for middle school small groups focused on understanding disruptive behaviors, identifying personal triggers, and developing concrete self-regulation strategies. Students move from awareness of external and internal pressures to practicing and planning constructive responses.
A 10-session Tier 3 social-emotional learning unit for students with ASD, focusing on identifying emotions, recognizing dysregulation, and applying self-regulation strategies through a space-themed journey.
This sequence explores the neurobiological foundations of student escalation, connecting internal physiological stress responses (the 'amygdala hijack') to observable external warning signs. Students will learn to depersonalize behavior by understanding it as a biological survival mechanism, training them to recognize subtle somatic, respiratory, and muscular cues before a full behavioral outburst occurs.
A 5-lesson sequence for Kindergarten students focusing on interoception and the procedural steps of requesting and returning from a break to support self-regulation.
A color-coded behavioral support sequence for Pre-K students focused on identifying emotional intensity. Students learn to distinguish between 'Green' (calm), 'Yellow' (warning), and 'Red' (crisis) zones, with a heavy emphasis on recognizing the 'Yellow Zone' signs before escalation occurs.
A comprehensive 5-lesson unit on the Crisis Cycle, focusing on identifying triggers, escalation stages, and intervention points through a technical mapping and simulation lens. Students move from theoretical understanding to retroactive detective work to understand behavioral patterns.
A comprehensive 5-lesson unit for 7th-grade students to identify internal and external signals of emotional escalation. Students move from establishing baseline behaviors to creating a personalized 'Escalation Map' to help them recognize when to engage coping strategies before a crisis occurs.
A comprehensive 5-lesson unit for 12th-grade students on identifying behavioral baselines and recognizing early warning signs of emotional escalation through analytical observation of verbal, para-verbal, and non-verbal cues.
This sequence connects behavioral observation to the biological science of the stress response. Students investigate the 'why' behind warning signs by studying the sympathetic nervous system and the 'fight, flight, or freeze' response, culminating in a biological profile of behavioral escalation.
This sequence trains undergraduate students in behavioral health and education to identify the early warning signs of crisis. Students move from establishing behavioral baselines to analyzing motor, verbal, and passive indicators of escalation through case studies and clinical observation.
A high-intensity simulation-based unit for 12th graders focusing on situational awareness and the early detection of behavioral escalation in dynamic environments. Students take on the role of behavioral analysts to identify subtle cues before they lead to crisis.
A professional development workshop designed for teachers of 4th and 5th-grade students to understand perfectionism, foster growth mindsets, and implement practical support strategies.
A trauma-informed athletic coaching framework for Kitley Intermediate educators, transforming classroom management into proactive brain-state scouting, connection rituals, and sideline de-escalation plays.
A 15-minute Kindergarten lesson helping students understand the importance of staying in their designated spots for safety and learning using storytelling and practice.
In this 30-minute session, 7th grade students learn to identify verbal threats and inappropriate gestures, reflect on their emotional impact, and practice respectful communication strategies to foster a safe classroom environment.
A Kindergarten social-emotional learning lesson focused on identifying the 'Red Zone' of high-arousal emotions and learning to stop and regain control to keep bodies safe.
A 30-minute professional development session for school leaders focused on understanding trauma-informed practices, the physiological impact of trauma on students, and strategies for modeling these practices for staff while maintaining high expectations for student behavior.
An early elementary individual counseling session focused on emotional regulation, concrete coping strategies, and flexible thinking. Students learn to recognize emotional weather, differentiate rigid 'Rock Brain' from flexible 'Noodle Brain,' and practice three calming tools to pivot to Plan B.
A comprehensive suite of five developmentally targeted behavior reflection sheets for grades K-3, designed to support emotional regulation, restorative problem-solving, and positive decision-making.
A 30-minute professional development session for elementary teachers exploring Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and practical strategies for building classroom resilience.
This Tier 3 intervention lesson empowers individual students to manage dysregulation and reduce elopement by teaching them to request breaks or use a virtual refueling room as replacement behaviors.
A comprehensive behavior support and emotional regulation system designed for TK and kindergarten after-school programs with 30 students and 3 educators. Includes team zone defense protocols, immediate response scripts for unsafe behaviors, visual regulation station tools, transition cue cards, and quick-incident observation logs.
An individualized 1-on-1 social-emotional lesson for second graders focused on recognizing frustration triggers, keeping hands safe, using calming reset strategies, and building positive friendships.
