Welcome students. Introduce yourself and the Brain Boss lesson. Explain that today they’ll learn three skills to help them take charge of their learning.

Briefly walk through each part of the lesson so students know what to expect.

Engage students with a quick think-pair-share. Encourage multiple voices.

Define terms clearly on the board as you go over the slide.

Model filling out one example goal on a whiteboard or document camera before students begin.

Walk around the room to support students as they break goals into steps.

Demonstrate using a timer for one of the sample steps. Show how to block time on the chart.

Encourage honest reflection. Invite a few volunteers to share.

Remind students to keep their worksheets in a safe place and apply the skills in future assignments.
