The Circle of Control

• This lesson teaches students to identify what aspects of their lives they can control, such as their actions and attitudes, versus what they cannot control, like the behavior of others or external events. Through activities like personal reflection and group discussion, students learn to focus their energy on positive actions and attitudes they can influence, fostering resilience and a proactive mindset.

Walk in My Shoes

• Through role-playing and reflective discussions, this lesson encourages students to step into others' shoes, exploring diverse perspectives and situations. It aims to cultivate empathy, understanding, and respect for different viewpoints by engaging students with various scenarios that challenge them to think and feel from another's position, promoting a more inclusive and compassionate classroom environment.

The Emotion Wheel

• This interactive lesson uses the Emotion Wheel as a tool to help students identify, express, and understand their emotions and the emotions of others. By engaging in activities like personal reflection, artistic expression, and group sharing, students learn to articulate their feelings more precisely and empathize with their peers, enhancing emotional literacy and interpersonal connections.
