Facilitator’s Introduction Script

Section 1: Launch & Purpose (2 minutes)

Teacher (warm, enthusiastic tone):
“Good morning, friends! Welcome to our Triumph Tracker time. Today, we’re going to become focus detectives. We’ll learn how to notice when we’re doing a great job paying attention and when we might need a quick refocus. When we track our small wins, we feel proud and get even better at our work. Let’s jump in!”

(Click to slide 1 on Kickoff Slide Deck)

Teacher:
“Look at these bright colors—just like our journey today! Tracking your daily wins helps you stay on task and feel proud of yourself. Who’s ready to become a focus detective?”

(Have students give a thumbs-up or clap.)

Section 2: Success Criteria Overview (3 minutes)

(Click to slide 3: “Our Self-Monitoring Steps.”)

Teacher:
“Next, I want to share our Self-Monitoring Success Criteria Rubric. Think of this rubric like a checklist to show when you’re on track. I’ll read each criterion. After each one, you can give me an example from your day.”

1. “I stayed on task for 10 minutes.”
   • Teacher: “Can someone share a time you worked without getting distracted?”
2. “I noticed when I needed to refocus.”
   • Teacher: “What’s one time you realized, ‘Oh—I’m off track!’?”
3. “I checked off my progress in my journal.”
   • Teacher: “How did you feel when you marked a small win?”

Teacher (smiling):
“You each have your own copy of this rubric. It’s your personal checklist. When you meet one of these criteria, you get to celebrate!”

Section 3: Guided Journal Reflection (7 minutes)

(Click to slide 4: “Today’s Reflection Questions.”)

Teacher:
“Now, please take out your Daily Triumph Tracker Journal. We’ll read three reflection questions together. You’ll write your answers, then check off any criteria you met. Ready?”

1. What did I focus on today?
   • Teacher (pause): “Think about your work time. Write one or two sentences about what you were zoomed in on.”
   • (Allow 30 seconds of quiet writing.)
2. Where did I get distracted?
   • Teacher (pause): “Everyone gets distracted sometimes. Write a quick note about what pulled your attention away.”
   • (Allow 30 seconds.)
3. How can I improve my focus tomorrow?
   • Teacher (pause): “Choose one idea—maybe setting a timer or taking a quick stretch break—and write it down.”
   • (Allow 30 seconds.)

Teacher (circulating, offering encouragement):
“Great thinking, friends. Keep going—remember to check off any success criteria you hit!”

Section 4: Share & Closure (3 minutes)

Teacher (gather attention):
“Time to share our triumphs! Who would like to share one thing they focused on today?”

(Select 1–2 volunteers.)

Teacher:
“Thank you for sharing! Now, who has a goal for tomorrow—one way you’ll keep your focus strong?”

(Select 1–2 volunteers.)

Teacher (enthusiastic):
“I love hearing your ideas. Remember to bring your journal back each day so we can track our progress together. You all did an amazing job noticing your small wins. Let’s give ourselves a big cheer for today’s growth!”

(All students cheer.)
