Use it tomorrow morning
You don’t need to overhaul your teaching. You just need five minutes.
Tonight: print the Starter Cards and glance at the 3-2-1 Reset Guide. That’s it.
Tomorrow morning:
- 8:10 AM - A student walks in already agitated. Instead of a warning, you pull them aside, lay out three Feelings cards, and ask, “Which one is closest?”
- 10:30 AM - The class is off after recess. You announce a two-minute reset. Cards out. Buddy share. Breathe. Then back to the lesson.
- 1:15 PM - Two students are bickering over who got the iPad first. You grab the Mediation Process and run it in under ten minutes. They leave the conversation heard.
By the end of the day, you will have used the kit three times without adding anything extra to your plate.
That is the point. The Reset Kit is not another curriculum to study. It is a set of moves you can make when things go sideways.
Built to work with kids, not against them
No threats. No punitive tactics. No isolating kids. Just practical tools that support regulation, accountability, and a strong classroom community.
Applying Nonviolent Communication and Restorative Practices in your setting is easy.
What happens after the reset kit?
The Reset Kit gives you the protocol. The full GROK card decks give you the language library.
Once you have used the starter cards for a few days, you will start to notice something: the same five or six feelings and needs are not enough for every student, every moment, every kind of day.
That is when the full deck becomes the obvious next step.
Which deck fits your classroom?
- Kids GROK - illustrated cards for PreK–4th. Big feelings, simple words, bears kids remember.
- GROK Empathy Cards - our bestselling deck for 5th grade through adults. The one most middle and high school teachers keep on their desk.
- Classroom Kids GROK - oversized cards for circle time, morning meetings, and whole-class work.
- Big GROK - larger cards built for groups, workshops, and facilitation.
Teachers who start with the Reset Kit and then move to a class set of cards tell us the same thing: the protocol becomes automatic, and the language finally has room to cover everything their students actually bring in the door.
