AGE APPROPRiATE CURRICULUM
THE CURRICULUM
The Miss Kendra curriculum is all grade appropriate. Each Miss Kendra lesson is designed to be fun and engaging, while simultaneously making difficult topics accessible to students. It is expected that some anxiety will arise from eliciting open conversations about adversity, and thus there are structures throughout the curriculum to facilitate both expression and containment of this emotionality.
The curriculum has 38 lesson plans designed to be delivered in 38 weekly sessions of 30 minutes throughout the whole school year. The lesson plans follow a particular format designed to elicit the opinions, feelings, and thoughts of the students as well as their own personal experiences regarding sensitive topics.
The main action of the teacher in guiding a Miss Kendra Program lesson is to:
1) Evoke the issue – usually through Miss Kendra’s List,
2) Ask the students to communicate their feelings and thoughts about it through games and exercises, and then
3) Listen to their answers and encourage them to continue to communicate about these issues.
There are nine modules in the Miss Kendra curriculum, one for each month of the academic year. An initial, six-week long Foundational module is intended to introduce the primary concepts of the program to students, and to make sure, in age appropriate language, that students understand the aim and methods of the program.
