Module 1
Predictable Regulation Routines
Make the shape of the day do the regulating, so learners spend capacity on learning rather than on uncertainty.
- Start-of-day grounding: a short, predictable settling sequence for tutor time or lesson entry.
- Transition previews: consistent advance notice of what changes next and what the first step is.
- End-of-day calm-down: a closing routine that lets learners leave regulated, not escalated.
- Predictable language scripts: shared cue phrases every adult uses in the same way.
- Instruction scaffolding: one step at a time, in the same order, with written or visual backup.
- Cognitive load reduction: chunked tasks, processing time and reduced display clutter.
