Lesson Plan

Mapping Behavior Patterns

Enable a 5th-grade student to chart recent behavior patterns and triggers on a timeline and develop personalized alternative responses to strengthen self-regulation and decision-making.

At this stage, students face complex social and academic challenges. Mapping their behaviors and triggers helps them recognize patterns, understand underlying causes, and proactively select healthier coping strategies, building crucial self-monitoring and planning skills for long-term behavior management.
