Lesson Plan

Understanding Stress Duality

Students will examine the dual nature of stress, recognizing its potential benefits and harms, and learn coping strategies to leverage stress positively.

By understanding both the positive and negative aspects of stress, students can better manage their responses and use stress as a motivator rather than a hindrance.
