The Confident Life Program™ extends past the classroom and helps families to continue the age-appropriate lessons for children. For every day the students experience this curriculum, their teacher will send a two-page Parent's Guide home with the students. Parents, grandparents and caregivers are encouraged to review the guides and have discussions with their children regarding the lessons learned.
The Confident Life Program™ includes a guide for teachers and administrators to provide them with additional information while they administer the program to students. For each page of the 9-15 week program, teachers have access to this guide which provides additional information or suggestions to assist their class.
Teachers and counselors appreciate how user-friendly this curriculum is to use within their classrooms. Each school or youth organization implementing the Confident Life Program™, will receive access to a comprehensive, yet short training video. Additionally, each institution will select one individual to be the main administrator, and that individual will have access to a Confident Life Program™ Coach. Stay tuned for our upcoming admin training videos!
