IDEAS FOR AGENDAS:                 TEACHER EXPECTATIONS

What direction your instruction takes will determine which agenda you use. One direction - the one we've used for many years - is to present students a broad view, which we call: "Understanding and Using a PSN." If this is what you're going for, we've attached a number of sample agendas (below) based on time limitations. The agendas based by time - force you to focus upon how much time you have and what you hope to achieve.  

Other teaching options can be specifically focused upon teaching a specific PSN content/skill. For example, two options are: 1) to teach the "3 calls to actions" (build resilience, ask for help, learn strengths); or 2) to teach a class based on the 8 pillars of resilience. Below are also some agendas that focus upon these options. Again, be sure to focus upon what can be reasonably covered if you have limited time.
