Lesson Plan

First-Day Flow Lesson Plan

Build rapport and establish classroom norms through interactive icebreakers and collaborative activities, culminating in individual reflection to set personal goals and ease first-day anxieties.

Fostering a welcoming community and co-created expectations on day one reduces anxiety, builds trust among adult transition students, and sets a positive tone for learning.
