The Actor’s Toolbox: Empowering Students to Find Calm, Focus, and Balance

with Sean Layne

How do teachers prepare for students’ widely varying energies and emotions? This session establishes a silent routine that helps classes calm their bodies, focus their minds, and balance their emotions so they are ready for learning.

Created by actor/educator Sean Layne, this strategy has been used with overwhelming success for decades in classrooms worldwide and seems more relevant than ever as our educational system turns its focus on social emotional learning.

For teachers of grades K-1
