Lesson Plan

Creating Your Calm Spot Blueprint

Students will identify personal calming strategies and create a customized “calm spot” plan they can use when feeling stressed or dysregulated.

Teaching students to recognize stress cues and employ targeted calming tools builds self-awareness, reduces emotional escalation, and supports positive behavior in the classroom.
