Students identify and compare a range of strategies for regulating stress and emotion.
How this handout aligns
The menu gives students a structured way to sort fast resets and deeper supports. That turns wellbeing teaching into practical decision-making rather than vague advice.
Strong where students need explicit scaffolding for choosing what might help in different situations.
Students understand regulation as a whole-whare process involving tinana, hinengaro, whānau, and wairua.
How this handout aligns
The strategy categories keep coping connected to Te Whare Tapa Whā. That protects against a narrow one-size-fits-all wellbeing message and strengthens cultural relevance.
A mātauranga Māori lens matters here because regulation is framed through manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and whole-whare balance rather than an isolated list of individual tricks.
Most useful when kaiako want students to see wellbeing support as relational and multi-dimensional.
Students build self-management by matching strategies to rising stress zones and support needs.
How this handout aligns
The zone table helps students decide when to use a strategy, what to try next, and when to bring in other people. That supports practical managing-self development.
Useful when regulation teaching needs to move beyond naming strategies into planning when they fit.
Students evaluate whether strategies are realistic, accessible, and mana-enhancing.
How this handout aligns
The reality-check section promotes critical reflection about strategy fit. That makes the handout more than a menu of suggestions and better suited to real classroom use.
Helpful where students need to judge which ideas are actually workable in their context.
