Lesson Plan
The Culture Code Lesson Plan
Students will explore real-life school culture stories and practice positive interactions, then create two clear strategies to improve their own school environment.
Building a positive school culture early helps 6th graders feel included, learn empathy, and develop teamwork skills for a safer, more supportive school.
