ZONES  OF  REGULATION
The  Zones   of   Regulation®  is  a  curriculum  designed   to   address  many
underlying  deficits   in   order  to   improve   self-­‐regulation   and   social  success.   The  Zones  
teaches  students  to  recognize  when   moving   towards   a  less   regulated  state  and  
increases   awareness  of   triggers,   physiological   states  and   emotions.   Additionally,  
students   reflect  on  how   their  actions  impact   outcomes,   thus   increasing   social  cognition  
about  how  those  around   them  think   and   feel  as   a  result  of   their   behavior  and   meta-­‐
cognition  in   measuring   their  success  in  reaching   goals.  Lastly,   students   learn  when   and  
how   to  use  a   variety  of   tools.
The  Zones   uses  a   systematic,  cognitive  behavior   approach   to  teach  self  regulation  by  
categorizing  all   the  different   ways  we   feel   and   states  of   alertness   we   experience   into  
four  concrete  zones.

Today   I   feel  silly.   Mom   says  it's  the   heat.
I  put   rouge  on  the   cat  and   gloves   on   my  feet.
I  ate   noodles   for  breakfast  and   pancakes  at  
night.
I  dressed   like  a  star  and   was  quite   a   sight.

Today   I   am  sad,   my   mood's   heavy   and  gray.


There's   a   frown  on  my   face  and  it's  been   there  
all   day.
My   best  friend  and  I  had  a   really   big   fight.
She  said   that   I   tattled   and  I   know  that   she's  
right.

Follow-­‐Up   Lessons:   Identifying   Zones

Before  students  can  correctly  identify  the  zones  in  themselves,  


they  must  be  able  to  recognize  the  zones  in  others  (p.54)

It  is  important  to  emphasize  that  all  zones  are  appropriate  


depending  on  the  circumstances,  but  that  the  GREEN  ZONE  is  the  
optimal  learning  zone,  and  the  best  place  for  most  school  
activities.

Next  Lessons:  Identifying   Zones  in  
Ourselves   /   Goal-­‐Setting  and   Reflection

Once   students  are   adept   at  identifying  


feelings  in  others,   it  is  important   to  move  
onto  identifying  the  zones   and   related  
feelings  and  behaviors  in  themselves.
