For Standard #1, I wanted to focus on the learning of my students outside of structured

academic time. Below is an advisory plan I did that covers stress, and how we can build healthy
habits. Middle School students also have stress, just like adults, this is the perfect age for them
to learn about it and how to cope. It also allows each student to share what works for them as
an individual as each student is their own person.

if you don’t take care of all this stress?
