Publisher's Synopsis
The Positive Solutions for Success Curriculum Guide by Betty Mann McQueen, is a companion piece for the book, Positive Solutions for Success by Dr. Eric and Jill V. Larson. The intent of both is to encourage teachers and students to discover their own personal strengths for building resiliency for a positive lifestyle of total wellness. Working as a team, Larson, Larson, and McQueen, have crafted a time-saving curriculum guide for educators to incorporate the workbook's simple, timeless, and empowering 45 action steps and learning activities into any educational setting. The program is appropriate for pre-teen, teens, adults, both personally and professionally, throughout the life cycle. The curriculum guide identifies 69 concepts from the workbook. They are divided into 12 lessons with a lesson title. Each lesson is presented in an open-faced, two-page lesson plan which allows the teacher to personalize the lesson for the target audience and meeting room setting. The curriculum guide includes global and performance objectives. It is a competency-based program. Changed behaviors are determined by comparing the results of the pre- and post assessment from the workbook and a final self-assessment essay. Directions and samples of an essay and certificate of completion are in the curriculum guide. Using the curriculum guide as a companion piece with the workbook, educators will inspire students and families to improve organizational skills, create financial wellness and positive relationships, kick-start lifelong health habits, and so much more. The Positive Solutions for Success Curriculum Guide is dedicated to all those who inspire others by providing opportunities to learn, to grow, and to thrive in body, mind, and spirit.
