Lesson Plan

Shining Strengths Guide

Students will identify three personal character strengths, reflect on their self-efficacy, and draft a strategy to apply one strength to an upcoming academic task.

Focusing on personal strengths builds confidence, promotes an asset-based mindset, and encourages students to leverage what they do best for classroom success.
