Lesson Plan

Pause Power Hour Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice the “Stop and Think” strategy to pause and consider their actions before responding, improving impulse control both in class and on the playground.

Developing pause-and-think skills supports self-regulation, reduces impulsive behavior, and fosters a positive classroom climate where students make better choices.
