Strategies Outside

the Classroom

What’s this chapter about?

In this chapter, we provide strategies for situations outside the classroom, for example in the hallway or in PE lessons. We also look at situations in the playground and during school gatherings. Furthermore, we provide strategies for when you are out and about, such as on a school trip, on the bus to swimming lessons or during an excursion.

Activating and calming

One student may need extra input, whereas another may need input removed. Therefore, we have categorized the strategies as activating and calming. Activating is to be used for the underresponsive student, calming for the overresponsive student.

• Some of the calming strategies are meant for blowing off steam, for example by moving or fiddling with something. Assessing what the student needs can be done with the help of the SPI-viewing guide in Chapter 4.

• Some strategies can be executed in both an activating and a calming manner. Revisit the section in Chapter 4, ‘At what pace should a strategy be executed?’ This explains how certain strategies can have both an activating and calming effect.

• A few strategies will be further explained in Chapter 7. There, we will explain why some strategies are activating or calming, tell you more about tools and provide information from scientific studies concerning some of the strategies.
