Lesson Plan
Our Environments Session 1
In this 30-minute session, students will explore the Person in Environment (PIE) framework by defining 'person' and 'environment' components, identifying examples from home, school, and community, and setting expectations for the course.
Introducing the PIE framework helps students understand how various settings shape behavior and well-being, fostering self-awareness, empathy, and critical thinking about their environments.
