Becoming Successful in Middle School
Making Good Choices: Keys to Good Decisions (#107)
Kids today have a lot of important decisions to make. Should I drink alcohol or smoke pot? Should I cheat on a test? Should I inform on a friend? This program introduces students to the four hallmarks of good decision-making: does it agree with what I know inside is right, what might happen as a result, might it hurt future goals, and will it hurt me or another person. Through real-life scenarios, students see others in the throes of difficult decisions with serious consequences. Applying these new decision-making strategies empowers students to choose the right path. [18 minutes]
