Lesson Plan
Focus Check Blueprint
Students will learn to self-monitor their attention and behavior by pausing at key moments to record focus levels and reflect on strategies. By the end, they will independently use a simple checklist to track and improve engagement.
Self-monitoring builds self-awareness and teaches students to regulate their focus. Tier 2 checklists offer targeted support for those needing extra scaffolding, boosting participation and academic success.
