Lesson Plan

Rethink Being Late Plan

Students will identify automatic negative thoughts triggered by being late and apply cognitive restructuring strategies to reframe unhelpful thoughts, fostering reduced anxiety and improved punctuality.

Automatic negative thoughts about lateness can heighten anxiety and perpetuate tardiness. Teaching students to challenge and reframe these thoughts builds coping skills, boosts self-efficacy, and promotes consistent on-time attendance.
