Lesson Plan

Polite Power Lesson Plan

Teach the student polite strategies for expressing disagreement—using “I” statements, calm tone, and active listening—and practice these through guided role-play and reflection.

Polite conflict resolution builds empathy, preserves relationships, and boosts confidence. Learning these skills early empowers the student to handle disagreements respectfully and effectively.
