Lesson Plan

Brave & Bright Lesson Plan

Students will learn three practical strategies—positive self-talk, recognizing personal strengths, and setting achievable goals—to boost self-esteem by identifying their own strengths, creating affirmations, and practicing supportive feedback.

Strong self-esteem empowers students to face challenges, build resilience, and participate more confidently in class, supporting both academic and social growth.
