Lesson Plan
Emotion Regulation Journey
Over five weekly 30-minute sessions, this plan will help the student identify basic emotions, match them to the Zones of Regulation, practice coping strategies, and request adult support as needed—tracking progress via the Emotion Regulation Tracker.
Teaching students to recognize and manage emotions reduces frustration, builds self-control, and promotes academic engagement. This targeted, data-driven plan supports the student’s IEP goals and measures growth toward a 5% SDQ score increase.
