Lesson Plan

Designing Calm Corners Lesson Plan

Students will explore examples of calm-down zones, map potential classroom calm corners, and co-design a space that includes self-regulation strategies to support their emotional well-being.

Co-creating a calm corner empowers students to understand and use calming strategies, fosters ownership of their learning environment, and promotes self-regulation and a positive classroom climate.
