There is a psychological and neuro-scientific research-based foundation of the successful mind course. The collective work of cognitive-behavioural psychologists (Albert Ellis, Aaron Beck, Martin Seligman, Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth) has identified a range of positive and negative attitudes that determine how people think (self-talk), feel and behave. CASEL and ACARA have identified core social-emotional skills incorporated in this program: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and social management.
A successful mind is strengthened in young people through various learning activities employed in this course, including structured learning activities combined with small group interaction, discussion and application.
A distinctive feature of this course is its suitability to be delivered in career education classes with content linked to the CORE Skills for Work framework.
The Leader’s Guide is purchased together with copies of 04.b The Successful Mind for School, Work and Life Student Handbook (secondary years 9 – 12) for each participating student.
