Lesson Plan
Resilience Rally Lesson Plan
Students will learn and practice three resilience strategies—positive reframing, seeking support, and problem-solving—through a mindfulness warm-up, scenario-based game, and group reflection to strengthen their ability to bounce back from challenges.
Developing resilience empowers 8th graders to manage stress, recover from setbacks, and thrive academically and personally. Bilingual resources ensure all students, including ESL learners, can access and apply these strategies.
