A structured way to test Ocean Zones in your school or district with extra support, training, and feedback tools — including First Waves for learners who are not yet ready for a 4-zone system.
Many schools want to try Ocean Zones with a small group of classrooms before making a larger investment. Our pilot program gives you everything you need to test the curriculum, collect meaningful data, and make a confident decision.
We recommend the pilot for:
Self-contained, resource, or autism support programs serving K–5 students.
One building that wants to test a multi-sensory SEL approach before scaling.
3–10 classrooms across multiple schools who will share feedback and data.
Teams who want one SEL approach that works across a wide range — including learners with significant support needs who may need a Calm/Not Calm starting point.
We’ll work with you to match the right materials to your context. A typical pilot includes:
Digital access to the full 12-week Ocean Zones curriculum for pilot classrooms, including lesson plans, student pages, Calm Corner materials, and family letters.
A Calm/Not Calm foundation option for learners who are not yet ready for 4 zones, character instruction, or group-based SEL. Use it as a standalone entry point or an on-ramp into Ocean Zones. Learn more →
Live or recorded training session for participating teachers so they feel confident using the materials from day one.
Email support, optional check-in calls, and access to our Support Hub for troubleshooting and adaptation ideas.
Access to the online Calm Content Library for pilot teachers, including breathing-technique pages, student-facing intro videos, and printable tools, plus QR-ready URLs you can use on cards, posters, and classroom signs.
Easy-to-use observation forms and teacher reflection tools focused on student engagement and regulation skills – not heavy paperwork.
A flexible framework you can adapt to your school calendar.
Identify pilot classrooms, confirm goals, and schedule training. Gather any baseline information your team already collects.
Teachers teach the Ocean Zones lessons and use the tools in real classrooms, with ongoing support from our team as needed.
Review teacher feedback, student outcomes, and fit with your existing initiatives. Decide whether to expand, adjust, or pause.
Share a few details and we’ll follow up with options, pricing, and a short call if helpful.
