In The Zones of Regulation Comprehensive Training participants will be taking a deeper dive into the exploration of the competency of regulation and how it fits into a climate and culture of social emotional learning. This expanded version of our Basic Training webinar offers a more in-depth look into the neurological components, development of regulation, and compassionate mindset as the foundation to understanding and teaching The Zones of Regulation framework and curriculum. Whether you are new to The Zones or are a seasoned practitioner, this training will provide you with a thorough understanding of the lessons and concepts within The Zones curriculum. The extensive exploration of regulation tools and strategies outlined in the training will help you teach with fidelity and efficacy. In addition to highlighting the latest evolution of The Zones framework, participants can expect further student work samples, examples, and videos to illustrate strategies for adapting and differentiating the concepts to help learners, both neurodiverse and neurotypical, meet their goals across school, home, and community settings. Participants will walk away with an in-depth understanding of the complexity of regulation and how The Zones simplifies teaching and learning this competency for both teachers/practitioners and learners alike. (5.5 clock hours + two, 15-minute breaks + 1 hour for lunch = 7-hour day).
