More Than 300 Pages of Resources:

Within this unit students will be directed to follow more than 100 links to short videos (such as Ted Talks) and articles on the science of happiness. Teacher summaries for each text are included, so there's no need to read/watch them all yourself. Please note, student internet access is required. This is a PDF file with a link to a Google doc for student resources, so you can easily share assignments with your students who are working remotely.

Within this unit, students are exposed to various perspectives from authorities in the fields of neuroscience, personal development, mindfulness, positive psychology, and emotional intelligence.

The final assignment in this project-based unit is for students to reflect on what they've learned and present a project to their peers that teaches and inspires others on the art and science of happiness.

The unit is structured around 70-90 minute class periods over the course of 14 weeks, but you can alter the daily lesson plans to fit your needs and time frame.

The majority of the work is completed independently, so this unit could easily be used remotely with your online learners, for Independent Study credit, or simply used a self-paced curriculum in the classroom. To support whole group instruction, there is a guided weekly chat group activity wherein students can collaborate on their learning and final project.

Detailed daily lesson plans are included, which include the CCS for grades 9-12 on each lesson.
This means, zero planning for 3+ months, unless of course you'd like to alter the content to suit your needs.

The unit is divided into seven sections that address 7 healthy habits associated with joy and well-being. They are as followed:

1) Reexamine Your Role: Texts within this section explore the meaning and formation of identity and the possibility of recreating roles that better serve one's self.

2) Master Your Mind ~ Manage Your Emotions: Texts within this section analyze the interdependent relationship between psychological wellness and healthy behaviors; emphasis is placed on the idea that changing outer reality requires a shift in inner reality.



3) Create Your Purpose: Texts within this section address the importance and process of recognizing strengths and interests and aligning them with a sense of purpose.



4) Plan & Pave Your Path: Texts within this section speak to the importance of creating short and long-term goals while developing discipline and taking action.

5) Contribute Your Gifts: Texts within this section emphasize the importance and benefits of service and altruism.

6) Love Yourself: Texts within this section provide strategies to develop self-awareness, self-love, and healthy relationships.

7) Commit to Happiness: Texts within this section reinforce the understanding that happiness is a conscious choice and a habituated way of being. Choosing and committing to daily habits that foster happiness is the foundation for long term well-being and success.

In addition to the master PDF document, you will be provided with a link to a student Google Doc, which allows students to easily access the curriculum from home.
