Students respond to several statements that challenge or support their preconceived ideas about key concepts as well as their peers’ ideas. The Anticipation Guides can help structure meaningful conversations that reviews what students already know and engages them in critical thinking about the topic they will be exploring.

SELF-ASSESSMENT
This resource includes a single Decision-Making Self-Assessment. Students will use decision-making statements to reflect on their habits, evaluate their strengths, and think about ways to improve how they make choices. They will score the statements using the following scale: 2 for “Regularly,” 1 for “Occasionally,” and 0 for “Never.” Students will use this assessment as a tool to evaluate their decision-making habits and identify areas for personal growth and improvement.
This assessment also serves as a valuable tool for strengthening decision-making skills by helping students become more aware of their thought processes, recognize the consequences of their choices, and develop strategies for making more thoughtful, responsible decisions in the future.
