Using this resource, students learn how to:
- evaluate whether they are expressing their anger in healthy or unhealthy ways,
- analyze their anger in various situations, and
- use effective anger management strategies when they are angry.
Difficulties often arise when students express their anger in inappropriate, harmful ways or in situations that don’t necessarily warrant anger. These lessons help prevent this from happening! Students benefit from learning how to analyze their anger to ensure that it is appropriate to the situation and appropriately expressed in a way that does not harm themselves, others, or things.
Teach students anger management strategies using the no-prep, scripted student slideshow and have them personalize the lesson with the worksheets and activities provided. Use the individual lesson included in this resource to instruct specific students who have difficulty controlling their anger. A group activity promotes engagement and adds F-U-N to the lesson!
✏️ The tier-one universal lesson educates students (individually, in small groups, or the whole class) about ANGER using a scripted slideshow.
✏️ The tier-three targeted lesson guides specific students through the process of analyzing their anger. When assisting specific students who have difficulty managing their anger, this lesson lets the student dissect what is happening and customize an anger management plan with the student.
