Problem
Many students struggle to settle and focus after high-energy transitions like recess or lunch, cutting into valuable instruction time. Teachers often lack the time, training, and ready-made resources to implement effective social-emotional learning or mindfulness routines consistently in their classrooms.
Solution
Recess Reset is a classroom management tool that delivers "bite-size," mindfulness-based self-regulation lessons as a daily class transition routine. The program uses short, three-minute animated video lessons designed to be played right after recess or lunch, requiring zero lesson planning from teachers. Each lesson is teacher-narrated to build co-regulation between educator and students, and the curriculum incorporates guided practice, self-reflection, and learning transfer to integrate skills throughout the school day. The turn-key nature of the program protects teacher time and energy while helping students rewire into class mode. Recess Reset also includes a student engagement system with star rewards and coloring sheets to keep students motivated.
