Lesson Plan

Find Your Calm Zone

Students will identify their personal “window of tolerance”—their optimal emotional zone—and practice strategies to return to calm when feeling overwhelmed.

Understanding one’s window of tolerance empowers students to self-regulate, manage stress, and enhance focus, supporting emotional well-being and academic success.
