One-on-One Coaching Script for "Inside Out Of Respect"

Total Time: 30 minutes

1. Introduction & Hook (0–5 minutes)

Teacher (smiling, welcoming tone): “Hi [Student Name], thank you for joining me today. Over the next 30 minutes, we’re going to explore what respect means, look at respectful behaviors, reflect on a challenging situation you experienced, and then come up with a plan to show respect even when things get tough. Does that sound good to you?”
(Pause to let the student respond.)

Teacher: “Great! First, let’s start with a simple question.”

Display slide: Respect Roadmap Slide Deck – Slide 2, What Is Respect?

Teacher: “What does respect mean to you?”
(Pause; jot down key words.)
Follow-up prompts:

• “Can you give me an example of respect in everyday life?”
• “How do you feel when someone shows you respect?”

2. Identify Respectful Behaviors (5–12 minutes)

Display slide: Respect Roadmap Slide Deck – Slide 3, Examples of Respectful Behaviors

Teacher: “Here are some examples of respectful behaviors. Let’s review them together.”
• Listening without interrupting
• Using polite language (please, thank you)
• Giving others personal space
• Acknowledging different opinions
• Keeping a calm tone

Teacher: “Now I’d like you to list three respectful actions you’ve seen or used.”
“Write your list in your journal: Respect Reflection Prompts Journal.”
(Pause as student writes.)

Follow-up prompts:

• “Tell me about one of these actions—when did you see or use it?”
• “How did that action make the situation better?”

3. Analyze Past Experiences (12–20 minutes)

Display slide: Respect Roadmap Slide Deck – Slide 4, Reflect on a Challenging Interaction

Teacher: “Think of a recent situation where respect was tested. It could be at home, in class, or with friends.”
“Use your journal to guide you: describe what happened.”
(Pause.)

Teacher questions (one at a time, with space for student to answer in the journal):

1. “What did you do or say in that moment?”
2. “How did the other person respond?”
3. “Looking back, what could you have done differently to show respect?”

Follow-up prompts:

• “How did you feel when that happened?”
• “What was your first instinct—were you upset, frustrated, or something else?”
• “If you could rewind, what respectful action would you choose instead?”

Teacher: “Great reflection. Go ahead and write your thoughts in the Respect Reflection Prompts Journal.”
(Pause.)

4. Action Plan Development (20–26 minutes)

Teacher suggests examples:
• “I will pause and count to three before responding when I feel upset.”
• “I will use ‘I feel…’ statements instead of blaming someone.”
• “I will take three deep breaths before I speak.”

Teacher: “What two or three strategies make sense for you?”
“Write each one and note when and how you’ll practice it in your journal.”
(Pause as student writes.)

Follow-up prompts:

• “How will you know you’ve succeeded?”
• “When during your day will you practice this?”
• “Who can remind you if you forget?”
