Strengthening Inclusion and SEL: In-class Break Spaces 2 (expansion)

Strengthening Inclusion and SEL: In-class Break Spaces 2 (expansion)

The project aims to obtain additional materials to already successful “Calm Corner” spaces. The current project has been hugely successful and the team recognizes the need for additional materials.

“Calm Corners” allow students to remain in their learning environment while they are regulating their bodies and emotions. Seeing other students using the same space and tools allows students to recognize feelings are universal–we all need a calm corner sometimes. This program is innovative in its approach and in the fact that these corners are available in every classroom as well as every special. No matter who you are or where you are, the tools are available to everyone.
