This PowerPoint is intended to be used in a Middle Years classroom. The concepts discussed in this PowerPoint are taken from the book, "Self-Regulation in the Classroom: Helping Students Learn How to Learn" by Richard M. Cash.

7th Grade Math Teacher Chris McCloud from the School of the Future in New York explains how he talks to students about lost class time and how a few minutes each day adds up to a lot of time over a week or a month. He quantifies wasted time doodling or not being focused for 5 minutes in 1 class period to losing 100 minutes in a month, which comes to about 2 full class periods lost in a month.

The Wellness Resource Hub is a collection of existing and new resources to address and support Indigenous children and youth's mental and emotional wellness.

The Wellness Resource Hub aims to be a starting point that facilitates knowledge exchange and sharing across communities and Nations.

Most wellness resources are editable, and we encourage communities to adapt them to fit their children and needs.

Students who have social learning challenges benefit from increasing their ability to “read others”, use proper self-control or problem solve in social situations. The Zones of Regulation program uses social thinking, visual supports and self-management in teaching students how to consciously regulate their behaviors and solve social problems.
As well, many other literary resources have been incorporated with the “Zones” program to facilitate an appropriate social skills program.

This resources was developed at Eston school.
