Lesson Plan
Seasonal Success Strategy
Guide a 10th grade student through four 20-minute one-on-one sessions—each tied to a season—to set, track, reflect on, and adjust short-term academic goals for continuous self-regulation and resilience.
Breaking the academic year into familiar seasons helps students visualize progress, stay motivated, and practice goal-setting routines that foster self-regulated learning and confidence.
