Week 10: Real Wins, Real Losses
Students get told to bounce back long before anyone helps them feel the fall.
Why This Resource Matters
Resilience talk often skips straight past the loss. This week lets students sit in both the win and the loss and take something real from each.
What Students Will Explore
Naming a real win and what made it possible
Naming a real loss without rushing past it
What they learned that they did not want to learn
Who was there for each
Carrying both forward
What’s Included

Who It’s For
School counselors, advisory teachers, and educators running the Two Different Amaras curriculum with Black and Brown middle school students. Works inside the full twelve week series or on its own.
How to Use It
Teach it in sequence as week 10 of the series, or pull it as a standalone session when resilience through wins and losses is what your students need this week.
