Lesson Plan
Decision GPS Plan
Students will describe a 5-step decision-making process and apply it to a real-life choice, then complete a baseline Likert pre-assessment on regulation and executive skills.
Teaching a clear decision framework empowers students to align choices with personal values, build self-regulation, and take responsibility; baseline data guides future support.
