Building Real Confidence from the Inside Out
Pathway: Education
Design a 3-phase SEL course for students (Grades 3–8) to help them build confidence, recognize their inner strengths, and practice real-world social-emotional skills. Use practical scenarios, interactive exercises, and relatable examples. Integrate short, age-appropriate videos in every phase. Keep content skill-based, engaging, and accessible to all learners.
