08.05.24Introducing Our School Culture Curriculum for High School Students
A sample page from the curriculum…
Are you looking for a curriculum to help students engage more positively in school and to support students’ character development? Look no further! We are thrilled to announce the release of our School Culture Curriculum for high school students!
Our high school curriculum can be used proactively in an advisory or homeroom block, responsively to address specific student needs when classroom behavior is counter-productive, or in one-on-one or group sessions aligned with student support services. Our student-facing lessons cover a range of important topics including Exploring Emotions, Goal Setting, Succeeding Academically, and more.
The School Culture Curriculum for high school students includes six unique chapters that aim to:
- Help students reflect on challenging situations, analyze their actions, and learn replacement behaviors for counterproductive actions.
- Foster an understanding of how students’ actions impact both themselves and others.
- Proactively teach virtues and values to support character development among students.
- Cultivate critical thinking, writing skills, and character development through meticulously curated activities organized by topic.
One of the key features of our curriculum is its focus on teaching students as part of behavior change. Students engage constantly through reading and writing, enhancing their knowledge—for instance, learning how slowing down decision-making can reduce impulsiveness. This allows them to have richer discussions and a deeper understanding of the challenges of being a teenager. Just watch Tiana Solis, a Guidance Counselor at Achievers Early College Prep Charter School in Trenton, New Jersey. Tiana is using a lesson from our “Succeeding Academically” chapter titled “How Do We Learn” with a small group of 9th-grade students she sees monthly.
Tiana incorporates various means of participation to engage her students. As students engage in Everybody Writes, Tiana circulates and actively observes what they are writing. She then prompts students to turn and talk, even partnering up with a student who is without a partner. After the turn and talk she invites students into the conversion using cold call, encouraging students to share their thoughts and ideas.
