Lesson Plan

Cool Calm Collected Lesson Plan

Students will learn to recognize and label their emotions and practice three regulation strategies—deep breathing, positive self-talk, and taking a break—in structured activities. By the end, they'll demonstrate these strategies through role-play and reflection.

Emotion regulation supports students' social interactions, reduces classroom disruptions, and builds self-awareness. Teaching these strategies in small groups provides targeted support, helping students manage stress and emotions more effectively.
