As therapists, teachers, and parents, we know how challenging it can be for students to recognize and regulate their emotions, energy levels, and behaviors. That’s why I created the Just Right! Student Self-Reflection Rubric & Daily Check-In—a simple yet powerful tool designed to help students develop self-awareness, recognize their triggers, and take steps toward self-regulation.
This tool is a Google Sheet-based resource that provides students with a structured way to reflect on their brain and body speed, emotional state, and environmental influences. Instead of just asking students how they feel, this tool helps them dig deeper into why they feel that way and what might be contributing to their regulation challenges.
How It Works
When you purchase the Just Right! Student Self-Reflection Rubric & Daily Check-In, you’ll receive a PDF with a link to make a copy of the Google Sheet for your own use. The PDF also includes a YouTube tutorial walking you through exactly how to use the tool effectively.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Use the last four pages of the PDF to check off preferences while working with the student. These pages help identify body signals, feelings, and environmental factors influencing their self-regulation.
2. Input the selected preferences into the Google Sheet, creating a personalized check-in experience for the student. Then print it to use as reference for the student.
3. Use the daily check-in tool to help students build self-awareness, recognize patterns, and actively apply individualized strategies for managing their energy and emotions. Students collaborate with an adult and select their strategies on the PDF, then you can input them into the Google Sheet to create the Check-In chart.
