This printable lesson plan by Michelle Barrow outlines a structured five-step approach to help elementary students understand when to report serious issues versus when they’re merely tattling.

The plan is designed for immediate classroom use and includes teacher tips and differentiation strategies.

Used by K-5 educators during social-emotional learning (SEL) blocks or classroom community-building sessions; addresses common behavior management challenges and supports restorative practices. Matches user intent for ready-to-use, low-prep SEL curriculum resources.
