Regulation Rendezvous: S'cool Moves

If you have worked in an elementary school or with an occupational therapist sometime over the past 20 years, chances are you have heard about S'cool Moves. S'cool Moves is an evidence-based program that incorporates a variety of movement activities and music to help students regulate by focusing and calming so that they are ready to learn. For more information, visit their website at https://www.schoolmoves.com/. 

Today's Regulation Rendezvous is not endorsed or licensed by S'cool Moves, but rather provides some practical examples of how we have seen educators use the program in schools across the Miami Valley. 

S'cool Moves provides tons of awesome visual supports to use when implementing the program. Some can be done during quick warm-ups at the start of a lesson, during brain breaks when the students can do gross motor movements, or during individual "in the moment" breaks.
