Lesson Plan
Counseling Session Plan
In this 30-minute individual counseling session, students will learn two key expectations—using safe hands and respecting others’ belongings—and will demonstrate understanding through discussion and role-play.
Establishing clear counseling expectations builds trust and emotional safety, teaches self-regulation, and models respectful behavior, setting a positive foundation for all future sessions.
