Zones Of Regulation Learning Presentation

Zones of Regulation – Supporting Emotional Understanding and Self-Regulation in Schools

The Zones of Regulation is a structured, evidence-informed framework designed to help children recognise, understand, and manage their emotions more effectively. By using four simple colour-coded zones, pupils learn to identify how they are feeling and develop practical strategies to regulate their emotions, behaviour, and attention.

As both an intervention and a whole-school approach, the Zones of Regulation promotes emotional literacy, resilience, and independence. It provides a common language that can be used consistently across classrooms, making it easier for children to communicate their feelings and for staff to support them proactively.

This training session introduces the Zones of Regulation framework, its core principles, and how to embed it effectively in your setting.

✅ What you’ll learn:

• How the Zones of Regulation framework supports emotional understanding and self-regulation

• An overview of the four coloured zones and the feelings, behaviours, and strategies linked to each

• Practical guidance on implementing the Zones as an intervention or whole-school approach

• Expected outcomes for pupils, including improved emotional awareness, better self-control, and stronger social relationships

Ideal for SENCos, teachers, and support staff seeking a practical, child-friendly framework to strengthen emotional wellbeing and behaviour support in school.
