Welcome the student warmly. Ask about her week to build rapport. Introduce today’s session: “We’re going to power up your goals to help you feel more confident in school and with friends.”

Briefly explain each part so she knows what to expect.

Show the Confidence Thermometer Visual. Ask her to color or mark how she feels about different school subjects and friendships, then share why she picked those levels.

Shuffle and use the Reflection Prompt Cards. Read each prompt aloud, let her respond in writing or by talking, and note any key strengths or worries.

Explain each SMART criterion in simple terms, using examples. For instance, “Specific means saying exactly what you want to do, like ‘finish my math worksheet’.”

Open the Goal-Setting Worksheet. Guide her to fill in one academic goal and one personal goal using the SMART fields. Offer sentence starters if she gets stuck.

Introduce the Anxiety Management Checklist. Review two quick coping strategies. Then brainstorm two simple friendship actions and have her write them down.

Review her goals and chosen strategies. Agree on a follow-up date (e.g., next Friday). Encourage her to keep the worksheet visible and review it weekly. Praise her effort and end on a positive note.
