  • End of the year, students are very tired of the cognitive load they have been carrying with studying all year.

  • This was a great module because it asks them to get out of their heads and tap into their bodies 

  • Some students may not be willing to get vulnerable enough to actually do these strategies in front of you, but they may practice them on their own time.
