Instructional Ideas

  • Create anchor charts of the unit's helpful information—display them or have them easily accessible for learners to view when needed 
  • Send a letter home to families detailing the methods you're using to manage anger, include helpful tips that they can implement outside of school 
  • Have worksheets readily available to use when situations in the classroom require mediation 

Classroom Considerations

  • Being a mandated reporter, take discussions seriously and report when needed
  • At first, opening up emotionally may cause pupils to withdraw, become sad, angry, or frustrated 

Pros

  • Promotes self-reflection and positive behavior tools that can be used both inside and outside the classroom
  • Offers  exercises for caregivers to use in order to implement positive reinforcement 
  • Lessons are written in detail and thorough explanation 

Cons

  • Graphics are poor quality
