How to re-channel negative energy into positive change.

Self Leadership

Grade Level:
10
Subject:
Personal Development
Start Date:
End Date:
Goal Summary:
To re-channel negative energy into positive, long-lasting change.
To learn to lead oneself, before leading others.
To become a more creative, compassionate, and calm individual.
Essential Questions:
Why do I do what I do?
Why is it so difficult for me to change?
How do I want to impact others?
Understandings:
That change is possible.
That safety and confidentiality are key elements of this process.
That Self-Leadership is not psychotherapy, religion or politics, but learning to be a leader inside and out.
Content Goals:
Students will understand how to make a contract to focus on a part of themselves they wish to change.
Students will learn to how "unblend" from those negative parts of themselves that feel like they are taking over.
Students will learn to speak for those parts, as opposed to speaking from them.
Skill Goals:
Students will be able to do Voice Dialogues with negative parts they are focusing on, as well as assigning classmates to act out various parts to help form a relationship to them.

They will learn how they feel towards the negative part of themselves, rather than about that part. They will also be able to ask other parts that are not the subject of their contract or focus to step aside, if those parts are willing.
Reflection:
Going into this I understand that many students in Self-Leadership will feel there is only one way to manage the negative parts of themselves: to get rid of them. But of course, as parts they cannot be gotten rid of. They can be re-channeled (given new and more positive jobs) however, and this is something that will be new to most students.
