The Good Project is excited to announce the release of a new and comprehensive set of lesson plans focused on teaching the principles and strategies of excellent, ethical, and engaging “good work.”
Click here to download the lesson plans booklet.
The new lesson plans are freely accessible. They were designed for secondary school students but are adaptable to any audience.
The sequence of lessons will guide students to think deeply about The Good Project’s framework of “good work,” to develop reflective habits that will allow them to navigate complexity, to fully understand and articulate their own beliefs and values, and to make informed decisions in the future.
The full packet consists of the following elements:
Introductory material to familiarize teachers with The Good Project’s approach and theory of change
16 full lesson plans, each of which includes an overarching goal, specific directions, assessment recommendations, and a set of tools and worksheets
4 unit rubrics with designated criteria to measure progress towards lesson goals
A set of appendices with further information and suggestions
Students will collect the work they generate throughout the curriculum in a portfolio that can then be evaluated as a demonstration of skills learned.
We would like to thank The Argosy Foundation for providing the generous funding that made this work possible. The Good Project has also received significant support from The Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation, The Endeavour Foundation, and additional anonymous funders.
We also extend our appreciation to the educators who reviewed and provided feedback on previous drafts of the lesson plans.
