How I can calm down - coping skills posters for calm corners and SEN

In an educational setting, coping strategies refer to the way in which learners predict, prepare, perceive, manage, react and alter their behaviour when stressed. This stress is often caused by failure, the threat of failure or the belief that failure is inevitable.

Learning is more difficult when students lack the necessary strategies to manage stress and anxiety. These posters make coping strategies easy to understand and accessible to all students from primary and elementary through to middle school and high school. As teachers want to make learning as easy as possible, teaching these coping strategies is an important skill.

All students from early childhood and kindergarten through middle and primary school and onto high school can benefit from this resource, and special needs or neurodiverse students can gain some excellent self-regulation skills from using these posters.

Use this 122-page resource to practice and embed coping strategies with your students. 55 explicit coping strategies are included and printable in both full colour and black and white. The posters can be displayed in a calming corner or on the desks of individuals who struggle to self-regulate or can be accessible for when students need to access them at times of high stress or anxiety.

The black and white posters can even be used as a calming strategy, by allowing the student to color in the strategies as they use them.
