1.2 Creating Habits For Success

Instructor Preparation and Summary

This topic is based on information in the two following books:

There are two PowerPoint presentations for instructors to use based on the level of comprehension and ability of the learner. One presents a very simple 3 step approach to habit creation based on Dr. BJ Fogg’s book, Tiny Habits. The other presentation is based on a more complex approach with many steps and is based on the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. This presentation also discusses how to  break bad habits in addition to creating good habits.
 Instructors have the expertise to choose which approach is most suitable for their student. The principles of Universal Design for Learning are incorporated into the variety of activities in this unit.
The exercises in this lesson will help some students to:
  • Identify a good habit they would like to create in their life.
  • List and use the steps to successfully create a new habit
  • List and use the steps to break a bad habit
  • Use a daily habit tracker to track their progress
