SIM Virtual Professional Learning: Canvas Course

Possible Selves 

Possible Selves is designed to increase student motivation by having students examine their futures and think about goals that are important to them. Students think about and describe their hoped-for possible selves, expected possible selves, and feared possible selves. They set goals, create plans, and work toward their goals as part of this program.

This is a self-paced and self-guided course housed in the Canvas Learning Management System.  We estimate that it will take approximately 3 hours to complete.

This time estimate includes time to: 

  • watch the brief videos,
  • complete quick experiential activities in the modules, and
  • read the accompanying materials (modest estimate).

Among many individual factors, the length of time will vary due to reading and working speed, or if you implement the lessons with students between participating in the modules.
