Perspective Patrol Session 1 Lesson Plan
Students will learn to use a self-monitoring checklist to notice their own behaviors and practice seeing situations from a peer’s point of view using guided partner prompts.
Building self-awareness and empathy helps students with ADHD develop better self-control and social skills. Perspective taking fosters cooperation and reduces impulsive actions.
