Lesson Plan
Mind Traffic Control Plan
Students will learn to identify their emotional states using a traffic light analogy (green, yellow, red) and apply self-regulation strategies to maintain focus and manage strong feelings.
Understanding and managing emotions supports academic success, reduces classroom disruptions, and fosters positive peer interactions by providing students with a simple, memorable framework.
