The Core Content was built to establish a Foundation of intra/interpersonal communication & relationship building then move into specific Practices of the I AM Noticed Cycle which leads to the Outcome of Confidence and Resilience. The core content was designed to allow participants to experience the Foundation, the Practice and the outcome within each focus.

Additional Content is full of goodness. It includes inspirational word swags and bulletin boards that may be used as positive visual tools in your classroom or throughout your school. Word swags might also be used on social media posts and for email signatures. You'll also find additional Practices that can be used after the core content to provide additional enrichment. An intentional grouping of practices that create a ripple from self to class family to the world and back to self may be a strong tool that can be utilized.
