Through the generosity of the Hatton Foundation, Linden Grove School has enhanced existing social-emotional learning activities and supports by initiating new strategies to improve self-regulation among students. Self-regulation is the ability to monitor and manage energy states, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to increase positive results related to learning, relationships, and personal well-being.
New initiatives include: interoception activities to increase student awareness of and responses to physical and emotional states; Calm Classroom exercises to increase self-awareness, mental focus, and emotional resilience; and an increased number of calm spaces among the school’s middle school and main buildings.
