  5. Multicultural competence training

      • The curriculum fulfills four educational goods—capacity for personal autonomy, capacity for healthy personal relationships, capacity to treat others as equals, and capacity for personal fulfillment—and the four-character strengths of interpersonal self-control, zest, gratitude, and social intelligence.
      • Modules will discuss personal and social identity formation, self-awareness, self-management, emotional regulation and modulation, social awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision-making, problem-solving skills to manage adversity, and the transition to high school.
  • Manage the classroom using positive classroom management skills.
  • Support the development of self-awareness, responsible decision-making skills, problem-solving skills, and a positive sense of self. 
  • Teach strategies and skills to increase resilience.
