"Foreword and selected lessons by Michelle Garcia Winner"--Cover
Summary: Curriculum geared toward helping students gain skills in consciously regulating their actions, which in turn leads to increased control and problem solving abilities. Using a cognitive behavior approach, the curriculum's learning activities are designed to help students recognize when they are in different states called "zones," with each of four zones represented by a different color. In the activities, students also learn how to use strategies or tools to stay in a zone or move from one to another. Students explore calming techniques, cognitive strategies, and sensory supports so they will have a toolbox of methods to use to move between zones. The curriculum's learning activities are presented in 18 lessons. Many lessons offer extension activities and ways to adapt the activity for individual student needs. Includes worksheets, handouts, and visuals to display and share. These can be photocopied from this book or printed from the accompanying CD-ROM
