Lesson Plan

Pause Plan Act

Students will learn to pause before reacting, think through their choices, and then act responsibly, practicing self-regulation in everyday situations.

Teaching Pause-Think-Act builds impulse control, reduces unsafe or disruptive behaviors, and lays the groundwork for positive decision-making and social-emotional growth in young learners.
