Lesson Plan
Cafeteria Clash to Calm Plan
Guide the student through reflection on the food fight incident, its impact on others, and develop a plan to repair harm, while teaching self-regulation and conflict-resolution skills as alternatives to suspension.
Adding a restorative component helps the student take accountability, build empathy, and repair relationships harmed by the food fight, reducing repeat behavior and rebuilding trust.
