Competency 1: Self-Awareness Lessons|Activities|Learning Extensions

Self-awareness activities are essential for all students, including those with special needs. Helping them to develop an understanding of their emotions, strengths, challenges, and unique attributes can greatly improve their self-esteem and ability to advocate for themselves. Making self-awareness activities active and kinesthetic means integrating physical movement into the learning process. This approach can be particularly effective for learners who benefit from hands-on and movement-based experiences.
