Introduction and Overview
In this curriculum:
Each section is one of the learning intentions.
The 5 principals for thriving are featured in each learning intention section.
How Thriving Minds works:
- Be sure to use your provided Teacher workbook as a starting point.
- You will show short online clips in class to get your students thinking about things that matter, like friendships, handling tough feelings and your wellbeing.
- Students will get time to talk about the clip with a partner or small group and sometimes on their own. There will be a chance to record their answers in their workbooks. Writing things down strengthens their learning.
- They might not need all the skills they learn right away (and they might already know some of them). By being prepared, they’ll have the skills waiting for when they need them. They won’t need to figure it all out on the spot, right in the middle of a problem.
- It’s perfectly okay for them to watch any of the clips again – sometimes it’s hard to remember everything from watching it just once.
So sit back, relax and get ready to thrive.
All the very best, always,
Madhavi Nawana Parker.
