Lesson Plan

Pause Power Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice self-control by pausing before reacting to impulses, exploring specific strategies, and creating personal action plans to manage emotions.

Developing self-control supports positive behavior, better decision-making, and healthier relationships. Teaching students to pause before reacting reduces impulsivity and builds a respectful classroom culture.
