The lesson “Functioning Independently” teaches children about the application of social and self-awareness and the responsibility of functioning on their own. The children will learn and explain how they can make good decisions in difficult situations, as well as describe situations when it may be best to ask for help rather than make a decision alone. The children will also articulate and understand what can be done if a poor decision is made. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 43rd lesson in the 2nd Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Leadership Preparation” unit.
