PBIS/Rocket Way
The Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) team focuses on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and community building at Royal Oaks.
The Rocket Way
Our behavioral expectations are called The Rocket Way - Respect, Responsibility, Empathy, Self-Control and Kindness. Please see the links for more information and Rocket Way materials.
Zones of Regulation
Royal Oaks Rockets receive instruction in the Zones of Regulation, an approach to teaching self-regulation by categorizing all the different ways we feel and states of alertness we experience into four colored Zones. The Zones framework provides strategies to teach and practice controlling emotions and impulses, managing sensory needs, and improving ability to problem solve conflicts. Check out the video and visuals below to support your child in using Zones language and strategies at home.
Second Step
Royal Oaks Rockets receive explicit Social Emotional Learning instruction through the Second Step curriculum, providing students with tools in the areas of emotion management, situational awareness, and skills for learning/academic achievement.
In a world where emotional intelligence is critical for lifelong happiness, successful careers, and healthier relationships, social emotional learning is the process through which children and adults can better understand, manage, and express emotions and empathy, develop positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
The visuals below are used in classroom spaces and across the building. Consider using this common language to support your child in gaining confidence, setting and achieving positive goals, collaborating well, and navigating the world more effectively.
