This website covers all areas od social emotional development and how to incorporate these in different aspects in your
classroom.
Differentiated Instructional Support: Describe how instruction can be differentiated (changed or altered) to meet the
needs of gifted or accelerated students: The use of visuals through song, social stories, social cues, picture cards.
Discuss additional activities you could do to meet the needs of students who might be struggling with the material:
Making zones od regulation book with actual pictures of the child doing things he has challenges with. For example,
When I’m in the red zone I’m mad (a picture of the friend sad), the next page can be when I’m in the red zone I can take
a drink of water, ask for a hug(have pictures of the friend doing those things).

Vocabulary: using different feelings words that children may not normally hear like frustrated and annoyed instead of mad,
surprised, disappointed.
