Edutopia – Lisa Tiemersma and Katie Brown
Educators know how important it is for students to know how to self-regulate. In our school, we call it being “learning ready.”
Most of the information and tools available for teachers about self-regulation center on strategies like breathing, naming feelings, movement, drawing, or music. All of those are great, and we use them at our school too, but our experiences with Patricia have shown us more. She’s teaching us about the power of passion, positivity, and nature by helping kids learn how to self-regulate.
