Staff meeting used to introduce Zones of Regulation created by a SENDCO and Inclusion Coordinator of a Multi-Academy Trust. I have used this PowerPoint multiple times to introduce the Zones of Regulation to head teachers, class teachers and teaching assistants. I’ve received great feedback for this and all teachers have been inspired to create their own classroom displays. Staff meeting Powerpoint includes: Story/history/research behind the Zones of Regulation Explanation of the Zones of Regulation Definition of self-regulation Poster including/explaining the four Zones Blue Zone introduction: Typical emotions felt in this Zone and possible body signals Green Zone introduction: Typical emotions felt in this Zone and possible body signals Yellow Zone introduction: Typical emotions felt in this Zone and possible body signals Red Zone introduction: Typical emotions felt in this Zone and possible body signals Slide explaining how each slide links to the road signs (a good visual) Many activities which can be used to help children identify an emotion they’re feeling and what Zone they’re in (Includes sorting, bingo, video links where Disney films etc demonstrate the Zones, linking experiences to Zones) Examples of classroom resources to introduce/use the Zones Many activities where children will be able to learn strategies to move from one Zone to another to help support regulation (toolbox, tools worksheet, sensory activities) Blue Zone toolbox slides: What we need to do once we’re in this Zone and 2 differentiated toolboxes sharing tools for this coloured Zone Green Zone toolbox slides: What we need to do once we’re in this Zone and 2 differentiated toolboxes sharing tools for this coloured Zone Yellow Zone toolbox slides: What we need to do once we’re in this Zone and 2 differentiated toolboxes sharing tools for this coloured Zone Red Zone toolbox slides: What we need to do once we’re in this Zone and 2 differentiated toolboxes sharing tools for this coloured Zone Examples of classroom displays sharing the Zones of Regulation Conclusion slide offering an opportunity for questions Enjoy!

A Zones of Regulation display which can be used for a whole school display in hall or corridor or classroom display. Is differentiated with wording and images to suit all ages. The display covers emotions felt in each zone, images to illustrate these images and a toolbox of strategies which the children can use to help them when in each zone. I am a SENDCO and an inclusion coordinator of a Trust and have used this display to introduce the Zones of Regulation to entire schools. It has worked really well with all children aged 4-11. Included in this pack: Display title of ‘What Zone are you in?’ 4x coloured zone titles 4x road signs linking to each zone 4x posters for each zone which includes emotions felt in each zone and images 4x toolbox for each zone This took me 6 hours to make so I’m hoping that by sharing it on here, it can save you the time :)

Simply edit the names and then print these cards off onto coloured paper of your choice and display as desired. This is a great way to monitor what your children are reading and for them to see which books each other are reading too. I will get the children to stick new post-it notes on top of old ones which will then create a reading-log in itself. Both myself and my TA’s have a card too as we want to join in the fun and the kids love seeing which books we’re reading!
