Classroom Break Spots and Recombobulation Room Changes
We continue to build up the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) for both academic and social emotional learning (SEL) supports at Shabazz. One step we have taken is in creating a classroom break space, equipped with a supply of fidgets, within each teacher’s learning environment.
Why do we need this?
It is hard to participate in learning when our feeling brain (amygdala) takes over!
Our current Shabazz Recombobulation Room (RR) data has shown us that students are accessing this space a significant amount of times throughout the day. Shabazz believes that we all have the right to regulate our emotions in our community so we don’t miss learning.
Rather than students having to come out of classrooms to get what they need for regulation, we are moving supports into the classroom. This gives students the opportunity to practice and build their regulation skills in their classroom environments and beyond.
The RR room will still be staffed during periods 1,3, and 5. If students need additional resources or adult support to regulate outside of the classroom when the RR is closed, we will work together to access recombobulation support as needed. We continue to work with all students who access RR to appropriately utilize the space by naming what they need, setting a timeline goal for returning to class, and putting regulation skills into practice.
