60-Second Classroom Reset System
Mind Circuit helps teachers guide 30-60 second classroom resets so students can calm, refocus, and return to learning.
The system includes simple micro-reset cards “Brain Flossing” as a short protocol teachers can use in any classroom, optional app support, and brief training for staff.
What is the 60-Second Classroom Reset System?
The Mind Circuit classroom reset system gives teachers simple tools to help students settle their nervous systems and return to learning.
The approach focuses on quick, practical actions that can be used in under one minute without interrupting instruction.
System Components
- Teacher micro-reset cards
- 30-60 second reset protocol

WHAT MIND CIRCUIT IS
A practical Classroom Regulation System
Mind Circuit is a classroom-ready system that helps teachers guide short, structured micro-resets when students become distracted, overstimulated, or disengaged.
The goal is simple: help classrooms stabilize quickly so instruction can continue.
Fast: Most resets take 30–60 seconds.
Teacher-Friendly: Simple routines teachers can guide immediately.
Non-Clinical: No diagnosis, therapy, or disclosure required.
When classrooms lose stability, instructional time disappears
Teachers frequently encounter moments when learning stalls:
What teachers see
- rising voices
- restless movement
- attention drift
- stalled transitions
- task avoidance
These moments often do not require a full intervention — they require a fast reset so the class can return to learning.
The 60-Second Classroom Reset Protocol
Mind Circuit gives schools a clear routine teachers can use consistently across classrooms.
Protocol Steps
1. Notice : Recognize signs the student or classroom is losing readiness to learn.
2. Select : Choose a short reset matched to the moment.
3. Apply : Guide the reset for approximately 30–60 seconds.
4. Return: Bring students back to the academic task.
This structure helps teachers respond consistently without interrupting instruction.
What Schools Receive
Mind Circuit combines simple classroom tools with a repeatable protocol.
Teacher Micro-Reset Cards : Short prompts teachers can use in real time to guide quick classroom resets.
Regulation Protocol: A simple framework: Notice → Select → Apply → Return
Optional App Support: A digital layer that can reinforce resets and support consistent routines.
Short Staff Training: A concise onboarding session showing staff when and how to use the system.
Implementation is simple
Step 1 — Staff Introduction
Teachers receive a brief introduction to the protocol and reset structure.
Step 2 — Classroom Use
Teachers use short resets during moments like:
• attention drift
• transition delays
• rising classroom intensity
• return-to-task moments
Step 3 — Consistent Routines
Schools reinforce the routine so resets become a predictable classroom tool.
MTSS AND PBIS ALIGNMENT
Designed to fit existing school systems
Mind Circuit was built to work alongside common school frameworks.
Tier 1 Support
Provides classroom-wide routines that support regulation and readiness to learn.
MTSS Compatible
Can support universal prevention strategies within MTSS systems.
PBIS Friendly
Fits easily within behavior and transition routines already used by many schools.
Operational indicators schools may track during pilots
Mind Circuit pilots can focus on practical classroom indicators.
Examples include:
• time required for students to re-enter instruction
• teacher-rated ease of use
• classroom transition stability
• staff consistency using the protocol
• teacher feedback about classroom flow
These indicators focus on classroom function, not clinical outcomes.
WHAT MIND CIRCUIT IS NOT
Clear boundaries for schools
Mind Circuit is intentionally designed as a classroom infrastructure tool.
It is not:
• therapy
• trauma processing
• mental health diagnosis
• a replacement for counseling services
Mind Circuit provides simple classroom regulation routines that help students return to learning.
Developed by a clinician and former school counselor
Mind Circuit was created by Erin Vandermore, LCMHC-S, a licensed clinical mental health counselor supervisor and former school counselor.
Her work focuses on translating complex nervous system science into practical strategies educators can use in real classrooms.
