Short Resets for Returning to Learning, Focus, and the Next Doable Step

“We’ve seen a genuinely positive response from the students. Participation levels in my third-grade class have greatly improved since implementing Mind Circuit™ — it’s made a real difference in how quickly we can get back on track.” — Grade 3 Classroom Teacher, Asheville, NC. 

"Using the strategies to help students regain their focus on the task at hand truly helped. Over my 12+ years of implementing state testing, the biggest struggle has always been keeping students awake and focused. This has progressively gotten worse in the last 6 years. I have always had my students take breaks while testing, to give them a moment to stretch and move, but it has never been with a routine or strategy. By using a strict strategy, students are less likely to communicate with others and are more focused in doing the steps to help regain their focus. These strategies definitely helped maintain a calm and quiet testing space both during my own testing and when testing was happening in other areas of the building. The students enjoyed the structured breaks and movements!"  — Middle School Teacher Spartanburg, SC
