The Challenge with Self-Esteem
Learning Objectives
Nurturing self-esteem in key stage 3 and 4 is a crucial mission for teachers. These teaching resources provide the tools and activities needed to support students in building a strong foundation of self-worth, resilience, and confidence. Our PSHE resources are designed to engage and inspire students as they embark on their journey towards self-confidence and self-worth.
Our self-esteem teaching resources come with the following learning objectives:
- Strengthen a sense of self through acceptance and self-validation.
- Develop and understanding of, and build resilience.
- Develop strategies to confront and overcome anxieties.
Teaching self-esteem is made easy through our range of key stage 3 and 4 resources. Play the short films on their own during tutor time, and focus on the big questions on the cover page of the teacher notes, or use as part of the planned curriculum for PSHE.
Lesson Description
Developed in partnership with INEOS – as a part of the ‘Go Humans Academy’ – we have created three short films that see the New Zealand Black Ferns rugby team share personal stories and professional achievements. Resilience is a key component of self-esteem, and our resources provide tools to help students build their resilience. Dr Michaela Litchmore-Dunbar, renowned clinical psychologist, helps students strengthen their sense of self through acceptance and self-validation.
Aimed at all pupils aged between 11 and 16, join Dr Michaela and the New Zealand Black
