Lesson Plan
Step-by-Step Strategy
Students will learn to identify a target behavior, decompose it into manageable steps, record progress on a chart, celebrate small wins, reflect in a journal, and self-assess using a rubric.
Breaking complex behaviors into bite-sized actions and tracking wins builds student motivation, self-awareness, and consistency in positive behavior change.
