Calm Adult Bundle: De-escalation Tools for Teachers, Paras and Teams, High School

I put the continuum and decision grid in front of the team before a hard week, use Rate the Response and the staff training toolkit in a PLC or para meeting, and leave the pocket cards and repair cards where adults can grab them. After 20+ years in education, here is what I keep coming back to: the calmest thing in any room should be the adult, and that is a skill you can build. This bundle is the adult side of hard behavior moments: reading the room, choosing a right sized response, staying unhooked, and repairing after.

What is in the bundle (13 resources):

The incident log and student calm profile sit with the case manager when one student keeps cycling through the same moments.

Who it's for: Teachers, paras, administrators, behavior teams, and coaches. Any grade.
