Lesson Plan
Circle of Control Lesson Plan
Students will learn to distinguish events they can control from those they cannot by applying the Circle of Control framework to real-life scenarios and reflect on ways to focus their energy on what they can influence.
Teaching the Circle of Control helps 6th graders build resilience, self-awareness, and stress management skills by guiding them to focus on actionable areas rather than dwelling on the uncontrollable.
