What is the ‘ZONE’?…
At Port Elliot Primary School we offer an environment for students to be explicitly taught regulation strategies, to assist in building academic achievement, positive growth and social competence. This room is called the Zone and is available to all of our learners
In teaching self- regulation we address:.
emotional regulation
sensory processing
executive functioning
When we can use strategies to monitor and manage our emotional and sensory needs we are more likely to be successful and therefore be available and ready for learning. This is because when we are in this optimal state of learning our brains are able to receive and organise information more accurately.
