BC 6 Elementary School pilot...Self regulation....based on recent neuroscience

Teaching children to self-regulate is key to this pilot.  This means raising the child's awareness of how they are interacting with their environment, managing their emotions and bodies and learning how to bring themselves to calmness.  My hope is this isn't viewed as a classroom management tool, but rather as empowering children for the rest of their lives.
