A student’s emotional regulation plays a significant role in the quality of education they receive in the classroom. This past year, I was able to observe first-hand the role emotional regulation has in the elementary school setting by spending 480 hours as a student school social worker at Lift for Life Academy Elementary (LFLA). During my time at LFLA, I created an emotional regulation curriculum that incorporated the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of social work. This curriculum was built off evidence-based interventions through the incorporation of mindfulness, Cognitive Behavior therapy, and breathing activities. I incorporated this curriculum into treatment plans for individual students and small group sessions in tandem with an academy-wide, monthly lessons focused on the combination of regulation, social-emotional learning and positive character traits.
