Decision-Making Pledge - 9th Grade

This short video is designed for 9th grade students to help them understand the importance of decision-making during their high school years. The message emphases that “we all make decisions and ultimately our decisions make us.”

Students are involved in an exercise helping them to understand all the types of decisions ahead of them and their impact on their lives. They also do an exercise to show them how even “good people” can still make bad decisions.

The students are then provided a Decision-Making Model they can follow when a decision arises. The class concludes with providing the students with a Personal Student Decision-Making Pledge Card to sign that summarizes the key points of the class.
