Behavior Volcano - Helping Students Self Regulate

Many years ago at a classroom management training I brought away this self regulation idea for students who have difficulty with managing their behaviors. You involve the student in identifying what behaviors they display when they are calm, BUGGED, and their personal signals of stress. Then you work together to plan "Short Cut" choices to avoid a "meltdown". This sample is one I made a few years ago. I simply attached the visual to the student's desk as a constant reminder for self monitoring.

I recently started a Facebook Group for teachers to share ideas, questions, and inspiration.

  1. This is great... but I may need this for myself! All of those "What bugs me?"'s bug me! Maybe I need my own behavior volcano on my front table to remind me what to do when I am getting, mad, upset and altogether unhappy. :D haha

    This is really a smart little reminder for those kiddos who tend to have meltdowns. I am VERY thankful I haven't had one of those in a few years.

    1. Traci,
      I agree, teachers sometimes DO need their own behavior volcano. LOL

  82. Hi, you're probably sick of people asking you for a copy...I'm a therapist working with children with severe impulse control issues and this is one of the best things I've seen (easy, interesting and engaging). Did you draw it yourself. Would you mind if I make my own with your general idea? I really appreciate anything you can do to assist. Thanks!
