Start-Up Guide for Instructors of PowerUp Girls for Life
This start-up guide for instructors and helpers provides written information and a video tutorial that overviews session structure and accompanying documents. It provides tips for teaching these plug-and-play lessons (sessions) with ease while creating meaningful, positive culture-building experiences.
Welcome Session
Builds confidence, respectful communication, connection, positive culture, and teamwork while explaining mental health and life skills and how these can make the difference between difficult and empowered lives. The fun game allows students to practice following directions and having positive, affirming interactions with other girls they may not know in a group setting and/or with their instructor(s). Outlines session flow and life skill benefits of feeling prepared, optimistic, worthy, empowered to be equal, and resilient under pressures girls face growing up today (the PowerUp acronym).
Session 1: Self-Esteem and How to Build It
Explores what good, healthy self-esteem looks and feels like, where it comes from, how it is very different from harmful entitlement, and how girls can start or continue building it. Explains how things such as empathy for others, self-compassion, recognizing strengths, valuing diversity, social engagement, optimism, and standing up for oneself and others feed self-esteem.
