25-55 teachers, administrators, support staff
Students arriving dysregulated from home, bus, or hallways. Whole room dysregulation at predicatble pressure points:arrival, transitions, lunch, testing, last hour. Behavior looks like defiance or disrespect. Younger (k-2) who don’t have words for how they feel, acting out in their bodies instead. Older (3-6) beginning to mask, shut down, or perform regulation they don’t have. Kids told their whole life to calm down but have never been taught how. Excessive screen time focus and behavior issues.
lost class time due to behavior
managing behavior instead of teaching
kids return dysregulated from transitions
difficulty focusing and retaining information
Larger classrooms with behavior issues
Teachers don’t have skills to manage all these emotions
By taking this course, you’ll give students a working understanding of their own nervous systems in language they can actually hold onto — picture language for K-2, science language for 3-6. Introduce regulation practices the whole class can do together at the moments they need them most: the start of the day, the return from lunch, before a test, after a hard recess, before dismissal. Build shared classroom vocabulary. Reduce the frequency and intensity of the dysregulated moments that eat your instructional time. Give students tools they will carry past your classroom
The kids sitting in elementary classrooms right now are not the same kids teachers were trained for. Classrooms are bigger. Behavior is louder. Focus is shorter. Communication skills are thinner. And the old playbook of rewards, consequences, and calm-down corners is not reaching what is actually going on. This course is different. We teach you that those behaviors are downstream from a nervous system no one has ever shown these kids how to work with — and we give you practical ways to bring the classroom back into regulation so you can spend your time teaching instead of trying to control the room. Content is split into two age bands: K-2 meets younger children in the body and in imagery, and grades 3-6 meets older children with the real science, explained in plain language they can actually use. This course pairs with The Regulated Teacher. One course is for you to care for yourself. The other is for you to care for your students.
