Welcome to the Student Success Skills curriculum! This introductory lesson provides students with an overview of the curriculum and allows them to assess their own baselines on each of the 20 skills covered in the program
Lesson Summary & Teaching Notes
Summary: Students list the skills they see as most essential to school success. They then interview classmates on their lists and conclude by writing down and self-evaluating on the 20 skills in this curriculum.
Teaching notes: This lesson works best with students who already know each other. If your students are just getting to know each other, we recommend starting with some ice breakers like classmate bingo or two truths and a lie to build their comfort before the peer interview.
Approximate length: 40-60 minutes
About the curriculum: School success relies on key skills that students are rarely taught. The goal of this curriculum is to level the playing field and to directly teach the executive functioning, self-regulation, and life skills that all students need to succeed in school. Through 20 lessons across four units, this year long curriculum will help students build a foundation for success in school and life– and leave them with an individualized success workbook at the end of the program.
