Dr. Kevin Polk and I have begun to share on Substack. Substack is a writing platform where folks share and create communities of those who are like minded and have shared interests. Our interest has always been to share the Matrix with as many people as possible. We know that applying the Matrix helps us and fellow Matrix users feel clearer and calmer.

We came up with the idea of Your Daily Matrix to help people notice what works to get them where they want to go. If you get the chance, check it out and consider subscribing (it’s free). When you sign up, a Matrix will arrive in your in-box each day. We are getting lots of nice feedback so we hope you will join our community. You can use the button below to sign up.

Back to School with the ACT Matrix

Posted by Phil Tenaglia /

I have created videos on my YouTube channel to help with back-to-school transitions. With the Matrix, the target is always psychological flexibility.

Each video is designed to be concise yet comprehensive, providing valuable content in just 10-12 minutes. Whether you’re a teacher looking to enhance your classroom management skills or a student seeking tools for personal growth, these videos offer practical, evidence-based strategies using the ACT Matrix.

This series of videos:

Offer practical strategies for fostering resilience and adaptability in the classroom.
Provide a simple yet powerful tool for enhancing social-emotional learning (SEL) and mental health.
Use real-world applications of the ACT Matrix to address common challenges in educational settings.
Offer insights on how the Matrix can address specific back-to-school challenges like anxiety, motivation, and social reintegration.
