Taking+Charge+Project

Taking Charge of My Own Success!


 * Guiding Question: ** How can I take charge of my own success?

This crew project is designed to inspire and inform students about the importance of a growth mindset, how the adolescent brain works, the value of work in school, and the career paths that are available to them, if they take charge. Students will work toward creating a product that will educate other middle school students about how to take charge of their own success.

The unit is designed to last from Friday March 1 to Friday April 12, just before April Vacation.
