Introducing The Zones of Regulation Digital Curriculum

A Social Emotional Learning Curriculum and Regulation Program

For over 15 years, schools around the world have been using the original Zones of Regulation program as an empowering instructional tool to build safe, supportive environments that foster learning and well-being for all.

Learners benefit from:

  • Increased self-awareness and social and emotional skills
  • A common language for communication, problem solving, and emotional understanding
  • More time spent on learning instead of on behavior management
  • A healthier, more inclusive school climate

Teach Kids to Manage Big Feelings Through Effective Social Emotional Learning

Over 80% of U.S. public schools reported in 2022 on the negative impact of the pandemic on child well-being and self-regulation. Kids are:

  • Struggling to manage their feelings and mental health
  • More disruptive in the classroom
  • Needing additional social, emotional, and behavioral support

Join thousands of educators, mental health professionals, clinicians, and caregivers to equip your learners with skills in self-awareness and strategies for regulation.
