The initiative will be incorporated into aspects of the existing curriculum, school-wide assemblies, and our overall school culture. Many of the activities will vary by grade-level and class; however, all teachers and staff are encouraged to use consistent language and follow the sequence of focus questions as presented here.
Monthly Focus Questions:
September – Who am I?
October – Who am I?
November – Where am I going?
December – How will I get where I want to go?
January – Why do I want to make smart choices?
February – When is the best time to make smart choices?
March – What do I choose to do?
April – What do I choose to do?
May – Who am I? (Have students’ ideas changed since the beginning of the year?)
June – revisit all focus questions/reflect
