Example: Use This Strategy In in the Classroom

  • Students can take Emotion cue cards on a key ring wherever they go. These cards provide helpful reminders of strategies, such as squeezing a fidget or taking a mindfulness break, when feelings escalate or when they are losing control. Over time and through repeated use, these strategies can become part of students’ Long-term Memory and support their emotional Self-Regulation.

    • Design It into Your Product

  • Products can provide a repository of digital prompt cards with audio, visuals, and/or animations for learners to access when their emotions are heightened. Having the ability to choose which strategies are part of their own personal library allows learners to identify the ones that work best for them.
