Alert Program for Self Regulation September 2012

The Alert Program for Self Regulation:
“How Does Your Engine Run?”

The Alert Program uses the analogy of a car engine to introduce the  concepts of self-regulation, a key component in focus, attention,  concentration and therefore learning.

“If your body is like a car engine, sometimes it runs on high, sometimes  it runs on low and sometimes it runs just right.”

Parents and students will increase their awareness of levels of “alertness”  in themselves & others. They will also learn sensori-motor strategies or  “engine tools” to adjust their engine speed.
