The Reflection Room: 1:1 Social and Emotional Learning

Sometimes, when a student is upset, they just need a safe place to stop, take a break, and reflect.

It offers a calm, supportive therapeutic environment away from the social and instructional pressures of the classroom where students can go to cool off, manage frustrations and take a break.
