    2025/10/24

    Short Lesson Plan: STOP Strategy

    Grade Level: Middle School, High School, families or Community Workshop Duration: 30–45 minutes Audience: Youth, Parents, Educators, Community Leaders

    🧠 Learning Objectives (with examples)

    • Identify personal warning signs that signal rising conflict Example: A student recognizes that when their hands clench and their heart races, they’re about to lose control.
    • Practice the STOP → THINK → CONSEQUENCES sequence in role-play scenarios Example: A youth worker guides a student through a mock hallway conflict using the strategy.

    • Students will describe their physical, emotional, and cognitive warning signs Example: “When I feel disrespected, my chest tightens and I want to yell. That’s my STOP signal.”
    • Students will demonstrate the NIC STOP sequence through role-play Example: In a classroom skit, a student pauses, steps back, and calmly explains their feelings after THINKING.
    • Students will evaluate consequences of behavior using real or hypothetical examples Example: “If I had shouted back, I might’ve been suspended. But because I walked away, I got praised for maturity.”

  • Auto Accident Injuries=Mo Money?

    Auto Accident Injuries=Mo Money?
    2025/10/23

    This content provides a clear overview of legal doctrines used to determine fault and compensation in auto accidents. It explains:

    Learning Objectives (with Examples)

    By the end of this lesson, learners will be able to:

    • Define and distinguish between negligence per se, comparative negligence, and contributory negligence. Example: Learners will explain how running a red light qualifies as negligence per se.
    • Analyze fault and compensation using real-world scenarios. Example: Learners will calculate damages when a driver is 40% at fault in a two-car collision.
    • Identify jurisdictional differences in negligence rules. Example: Learners will compare Minnesota’s modified comparative rule to Virginia’s contributory rule.

    ✅ Learning Outcomes (with Examples)

    Learners will demonstrate:

    • Accurate definitions of each doctrine. Example: “Negligence per se occurs when a driver violates a traffic law and causes harm.”
    • Application of fault percentages to determine compensation. Example: “If a driver is 25% at fault and suffers $10,000 in damages, they can recover $7,500.”
    • Jurisdictional awareness of legal doctrines. Example: “In Maryland, a pedestrian who jaywalks and is hit by a speeding car may receive no compensation due to contributory negligence.”

    📝 Assessment Activities

    • Quick Quiz: Match each doctrine to its definition.
    • Scenario Analysis: Learners evaluate fault and compensation in sample cases (e.g., a texting driver hitting a cyclist).
    • Discussion Prompt: “Should contributory negligence still be legal? Why or why not?”

    🧪 Teaching Examples

    • Negligence Per Se: A driver runs a stop sign and hits a pedestrian. This is negligence per se because the driver violated a traffic law.
    • Comparative Negligence: A speeding driver hits another who failed to signal. Under comparative negligence, fault is shared—if Driver A is 60% at fault and Driver B is 40%, Driver B can recover 60% of their damages.
    • Contributory Negligence: A jaywalking pedestrian is hit by a distracted driver. In contributory negligence states, the pedestrian may be barred from recovering damages—even if the driver was mostly at fault.
