Student Success Curriculum

Topic 3: Positive Affirmations

> PowerPoint
> Teaching Kit

The things students say and think to themselves form some of the most powerful influences on their school experience, career, relationships, success, and happiness. Negative thoughts and internal dialogue feed doubts and fears. Persistent negative thinking makes it difficult for students to achieve success and reach the goals they strive for. This topic discusses the roots of negativity and explains different types of positive affirmations. The goal is to empower students to manage their own thought processes, to develop a shared class language for discussing negativity and to improve student resilience, persistence, and self-confidence.
