By teaching kids the skills that help them calm down and fo cus, "we lay a foundation of self-awareness and self-management on which you can scaffold the other SEL skills like active listening, identifying feelings, and so on.
Back when SEL started, Lantieri tells me, "We were expect ing kids to use their SEL skills when they were hijacked, but they couldn't access them. Now we realize they need a more basic tool first: cognitive control. That's what they get with breathing bud dies and mindfulness. Once they experience how this can help them, they get the confidence, 'I can do this.'
"Some kids use it during tests-they wear a Biodot," a small plastic dot that changes color as skin temperature (and so blood flow to that area) shifts. This "tells them when they are getting too anxious to think well on the test. If it says they need to, they use the mindfulness to calm and focus themselves, and then go back to the test when they can think more clearly.
"The kids understand that when they don't do well on a test, it's not because they are stupid, but that 'When I'm super-nervous it's in there but I can't access it. But I know how to focus and calm then I'll get to it.' They have the attitude I'm in charge of myself now-I know what to do that can help."
The Inner Resilience Program is in schools from Youngstown, Ohio, to Anchorage, Alaska. "It works best," Lantieri says, "when combined with an SEL program-all these places do that."
