PE 71 - Taking Charge of Your Emotional Well-Being

This course will provide strategies that enables students to grow in their belief in themselves, and in their mastery of the seven non-cognitive competencies associated with success. Through this course students will discover their unique capabilities that will be the cornerstone of progress in the face of challenges. Students start with learning to understand the importance of exploring who they are now and who they are becoming as a critical component of student success. They also learn to recognize the unwelcome influence of self-doubt, how it can shape their feelings, emotions and beliefs, and begin to update their self-talk using cognitive re-framing, mindfulness and other activities backed by the latest research in neuroscience. From there, students will explore each of the steps that lead to creating their personal game plan for successfully navigating the various challenges of school and life. Not repeatable for credit. Offered occasionally. (1 Credits)
