 The Zone of Regulation is a curriculum design to foster self regulation and emotional control for
    children. Teachers have participated in a training session and are now using these tools and
strategies with students to help individuals recognise their feelings and emotions in the classroom.

                      school, we look forward to seeing you at this workshop.
