Lesson Plan

Blueprint for Safe Zones

Students will collaboratively establish 5–7 classroom norms that promote emotional and physical safety and a sense of belonging, then commit to these guidelines through personal reflection.

Co-creating norms empowers students, builds ownership, and strengthens school climate by ensuring everyone’s voice is heard and respected.
