Student Wellbeing and Engagement

 Zones of Regulation 

The Zones of Regulation is a framework designed to help students notice and name how they are feeling, and use tools to self-regulate. At Springvale Rise we use the zones of regulation language to support students social emotional learning.

Using the Zones at Home

Share your own Zones with your child: Talk about how you're feeling and connect it to a Zone. For example: “My heart is beating a little faster—I think I’m in the Yellow Zone,” or “I’m feeling tired this morning, I'm probably in the Blue Zone.”

Explore with books and videos: Use the Zones language to discuss how characters might be feeling. Pay attention to their facial expressions and body language. For instance: “Look at that funny face—do you think he’s in the Yellow Zone?” or “She’s moving really slowly—what Zone do you think she’s in?”
