Coming back from a break can feel… rough.
Routines are shaky, expectations need a reset, and students have a lot to say and do.
Instead of another lecture, I created Decision Mode — a whole-group SEL refresher that helps students think through classroom choices using movement, discussion, and reflection.
Here’s how it works:
- You project a short scenario.
- Students move to a corner to show their thinking.
- You discuss using built-in prompts.
- Students reflect with a quick writing activity.
That’s it.
No prep. No student devices. And no chaos.
It’s perfect for:
- Back from winter, spring, or summer break
- Morning meetings
- Classroom resets
- SEL refreshers throughout the year
If you’re looking for a calm, engaging way to get students back into learning mode, Decision Mode was made for moments like this.
