Pitching Respect Lesson Plan

Students will learn to identify hateful and hurtful language through baseball scenarios, practice transforming negative remarks into respectful communication, and apply these skills to prevent harm both in class and on the field.

Understanding and preventing harmful language fosters a positive classroom culture, reduces bullying, and empowers students to create inclusive communities using relatable sports examples.
