Lesson Plan
Zone Check-In Routine
Students will identify and express their current Zone of Regulation using visual cues, helping build self-awareness, emotional vocabulary, and providing teachers with real-time class data.
Regularly checking in with Zones promotes early emotional regulation skills, supports self-awareness, and helps teachers tailor whole-class support based on real data.
