This project aims to obtain materials to support “Take a Break” spaces and to provide students with sensory tools to help them self-regulate to better be able to attend to classroom lessons and work.
Though many classroom teachers are open to implementing SEL tools, there has never been a budget for these materials. Many teachers have not been trained in tools that may help students exhibiting certain behaviors. Implementing tools to help students self-regulate is both a recent innovation in education, as well as an avenue to promote equity in that all students will have access to what they need to help them do their best learning.
