Anger and Me
Anger is often the first feeling a child gets punished for and the last one anyone helps them understand.
Why This Resource Matters
Black and Brown students are read as angry faster and forgiven for it more slowly. This unit treats anger as information rather than misbehavior, and helps students work with it before someone else decides what it means about them.
