Lesson Plan

Brave Little Learner Plan

Help a 1st grader learn to manage frustration when tasks get hard by using simple emotion regulation strategies and growth mindset steps in a 15-minute individual session.

Students who become upset when work is difficult may shut down or avoid challenges. Teaching them to recognize feelings, use calming techniques, and adopt a growth mindset builds resilience, persistence, and confidence for future learning.
