Individual or Group Context
The assignment context can be individual or classroom/youth group; the fields and result remain the same.
Limits
The tool does not provide grades, discipline conclusions, diagnoses, or automated safety determinations.
Is this the same as the adult Mindfulness of Current Emotions worksheet?
No. This page represents the adolescent/school Wave Skill preset with student homework structure and intensity tracking.
Does changing assignment context change the worksheet fields?
No. It changes distribution and review framing, not the student response fields.
What if no wave-skill steps are checked?
The result shows none selected; it does not infer that the student did or did not practice.
Are sample student entries saved?
No. Saving preserves the tool and assignment context, not fictional student demo data.
