What students should walk away with

Two short AI lessons per week are paired with the current Leader in Me focus.

Keeping commitments includes protecting privacy, maintaining people-first relationships, and setting boundaries.

Day-by-day

1. Monday

   Introduce the habit and teach Lesson 53 (20-30 min).

2. Tuesday

   Quick review and practice: students name one place the habit shows up in their day.

3. Wednesday

   Minimum day: teach AI Chatbots & Friendship (15 min).

4. Thursday

   Teach Lesson 56 (20-30 min).

5. Friday

   Teach Facing Off with Facial Recognition (20 min) and close the week with reflection.

No-prep fallback (always safe)

1. Post the habit on the board: Habit 3: Put First Things First.
2. Ask: "Where did you see this habit this week — at school or online?"
3. Students write a 5-sentence journal response and share one example with a partner.
4. Close with three volunteers sharing out; collect journals for the teacher.
