Free Teacher Notes - Making Good Decisions

A one page briefing document on the ‘Making Good Decisions’ worksheet - also available from lifeskillsforteenagers.

Covers:

• Why it’s important to teenagers - Being able to make good decisions is super important! They affect what we study and the career path we take, the friendships we keep and the hobbies we pursue. Making some decisions are easier than others and being conscious of the process as well as having a couple of tools up our sleeve can really help.

• Help to explain the activity to the class to help them become better decision makers and take responsibility for their choices.

• The seed you’re planting in this lesson is that decisions we make in life, are really ours to own. Taking time to think about options, break down the details and consider what’s really important is the starting point to putting us in control. And we all make mistakes but learning from them is important so we can put them in the past and move on.
