SEL Norms Lesson Plan

Students will collaboratively create classroom SEL norms and explore the meaning of “aspire” to build a safe, respectful learning environment.

Co-creating norms and unpacking “aspire” gives students ownership of their emotional safety, fosters trust, and sets collaborative expectations for the year.
