1. Resilience & Growth Mindset
1. Resilience & Growth Mindset
Talk: The Power of Believing That You Can Improve Speaker: Carol Dweck
The Big Idea: Dweck introduces the "Growth Mindset"—the idea that brain capacity isn't fixed and that "Not Yet" is a valid grade.
Why it’s great for KS3: Year 7–9 is a high-pressure time for academic identity. This talk helps students reframe failure as data.
Module Link: This aligns with the Critically Analyse the Outcome principle. It teaches students to look at a "poor" result as a starting point for development rather than a final conclusion.
2. Creative Thinking & Problem Solving
2. Creative Thinking & Problem Solving
Talk: The Fringe Benefits of Failure
Speaker: J.K. Rowling (Harvard Commencement)
The Big Idea: Rowling discusses how hitting "rock bottom" stripped away the non-essential and allowed her to focus on the work that mattered.
Why it’s great for KS3: It humanises a global icon and shows that success is rarely a straight line. It encourages students to take risks in their creative work.
Module Link: Connects to Organise Your Reflection. It shows how reflecting on a "low point" can provide the "clarity" needed to move forward.
3. Digital Literacy & Critical Thinking
3. Digital Literacy & Critical Thinking
Talk: Beware Online "Filter Bubbles" Speaker: Eli Pariser
The Big Idea: Algorithms show us what they think we want to see, creating an echo chamber that hides opposing viewpoints.
Why it’s great for KS3: Students at this age are deeply embedded in social media. Understanding how their "feed" is curated is essential for modern citizenship.
Module Link: This is a perfect metaphor for Research Widely to Justify Your Decision. It teaches students that looking at only one source (or their own "bubble") leads to biased decisions.
4. Confidence & Body Language
4. Confidence & Body Language
Talk: Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are Speaker: Amy Cuddy
The Big Idea: "Power posing"—standing in a posture of confidence—can actually change the hormone levels in your brain (testosterone/cortisol).
Why it’s great for KS3: KS3 students often struggle with self-consciousness and public speaking. This provides a "bio-hack" for presentations or exams.
Module Link: This illustrates the Focus the Decision principle. Changing a specific physical behavior (a "focused decision") can lead to a measurable change in internal confidence (the outcome).
Talk: How to Find Your Passion and Make it Your Job
Speaker: Emma Rosen
The Big Idea: Rosen challenges the "one-job-for-life" myth by sharing her journey of trying 25 careers before turning 25. Her core message is that "passion" isn't something you find by thinking; it’s something you discover through radical exploration and "sampling" different industries to see what actually sticks.
Why it’s great for KS3: KS3 students are often at a stage where they feel they must pick their GCSE options based on a final career goal. Rosen’s story reduces this anxiety by showing that the early years of a career should be about experimentation, not just commitment. It encourages them to see work-shadowing and hobbies as low-stakes data gathering.
Module Link: This illustrates the Focus the Decision principle. Instead of trying to decide on a "forever career" (which is too broad and high-pressure), students are encouraged to focus on the immediate decision to experiment. By focusing on the small, actionable step of "trying something for a week," the larger, scarier decision of a career path becomes manageable and evidence-based.
Unifrog works with over 3,000 schools and hundreds of thousands of students. They offer specific channels for partners to get in front of this audience:
Smart Matching: Share your specific events, apprenticeships, or degree programs with students who match your target criteria.
Virtual & In-Person Events: Participate in their student webinars, careers fairs, and teacher conferences.
Co-Created Content: Work with their content team to create "day-in-the-life" videos, subject taster courses, or expert guides that are hosted directly in the Unifrog library.
Organization Profiles: Create a detailed profile for your university or company so students can research you while exploring their "next steps."
The platform doesn't just show a word once and move on. It uses an algorithm that tracks which words a student knows and which they struggle with.
Targeted Reteaching: If a student gets a term wrong, the system "drip-feeds" it back into future lessons until it is committed to long-term memory.
Smart Placement: Students take a baseline test so they start at a level that is challenging but not overwhelming, avoiding the frustration of content that is too easy or too hard.
Human Narration: Every text and instruction is read aloud by human actors (not robotic AI), which helps with pronunciation and supports students who have lower reading ages.
Visual Anchors: New vocabulary is paired with images and original fiction/non-fiction stories to provide context, making abstract academic words easier to visualise and remember.
