The Think Equal programme has been created by global thought leaders in the fields of education, psychology, human rights and neuroscience, and comprises three age-appropriate levels, each containing 22 to 24 original narrative picture books, 90 lesson plans and accompanying resources. It has been designed and scaffolded based upon evidence gathered over the past six decades about what constitutes high-quality, powerful intervention with lifetime effects.

The Curriculum Framework

The Curriculum Framework outlines the pedagogical theories that underpin the Think Equal Programme, its theory of change, and the core components of the programme. Included in it are the core tenets, which are the foundations upon which the programme is built: the belief in the child as an autonomous, empowered being; the active, constructive learning environment; positive, factual language; the concept of Ubuntu; the process of narrative; and social cognition. The document also outlines the six ‘I Am’ precepts, and the 36 topic areas through which children participating in the programme will develop. These topic areas are: I Have A Strong Sense of Who I Am; I Am Able to Look After Myself; I Am Able to Look After Others; I Am Able to Communicate; I Am Able to Contribute and Create; I Am A Critical Thinker.

School Programme

The school programme is designed to be taught over 30 weeks of the school year. Each week of learning begins with a narrative picture book, followed by 3 x 30-minute lesson plans, with resources, per week. 

Level 1 

LEVEL 1 comprises 22 narrative books and accompanying activities for children aged 3-4. The level also includes material curated in partnership with the Center for Healthy Minds from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which focuses on kindness and mindfulness.
