A Ready to Learn Plan serves as a predetermined agreement between a student and a teacher, typically utilised when students experience stress or dysregulation.
The plan involves a series of inquiries, such as identifying triggering situations and behaviors, as well as determining strategies to help students regain focus.
After establishing the Ready to Learn Plan, students have the option to implement it when feeling stressed or overwhelmed.
Similarly, teachers can suggest using a strategy from the plan to assist students in self-regulating when they notice signs of distress or dysregulation.
