"Behaviour is not the problem. It is the output of a deeper system." — State → Story → Strategy

For Class Teachers & Teaching Assistants

Before you can teach them, they need to be in a state to learn.

StateShift is a classroom state regulation tool with five preset contexts, four breathing patterns, and a built-in anchor and reframe sequence. Ready in seconds. Editable to your school's language.

The Problem

The hardest moments in the classroom aren't about curriculum.

Before a test

Anxiety narrows attention. A child who is flooded with cortisol is not going to access their best thinking. StateShift has a pre-test context specifically for this moment.

After break

The energy coming back from the playground is often the opposite of what the lesson needs. Two minutes of StateShift resets the room.

The anxious child

StateShift's 1:1 context works equally well with a single child who has become dysregulated. No drama. No singling out. Just a quiet reset.

What it does

What StateShift includes

  • Five preset contexts: Before a Test, After Break, Low Energy, Anxious Child, Whole Class Reset
  • Each context: opening frame, breathing prompts, physical anchor instruction, reframe statement
  • All text fully editable — adapt to your school's language
  • Four breathing patterns: Box, 4-7-8, Simple, Calm Down
  • Session by rounds or minutes
  • Animated breathing circle with distinct tones for inhale, hold and exhale
  • Ends with anchor and reframe stages

The Framework

Why physiology comes first.

"Physiology changes first. State follows. Behaviour changes as a result. This is why telling a dysregulated child to calm down doesn't work — and why changing their breathing does." — The StateShift approach

Who it's for

No training needed. Anyone can run it.

Class Teachers

Use whole-class at transition points. Entire class reset in two minutes.

Teaching Assistants

The 1:1 Anxious Child context gives TAs a structured, calm protocol for difficult moments.

Any Staff Member

No training needed. The tool guides both you and the child through every step.
