My Grade 4 Curriculum Looks Different, Why?

For the 2025–26 school year, we’re excited to pilot an enhanced version of the Champion Mindset Curriculum, designed specifically for Grade 4 classrooms. If you're noticing that your Grade 4 content looks different than other grades — you're right! This is intentional.

• Why the Change?

  We’ve developed this revised curriculum to:

  • Offer grade-specific content that meets students where they are
  • Increase engagement and flexibility
  • Support deeper learning and connection with the themes
• This pilot version is a first step in evolving our programming to be even more impactful for students and easier to implement for educators.

• ✅ What’s Included in the Grade 4 Pilot?

  Your Grade 4 curriculum includes:

  6 Core Units:

  • Goal Setting
  • Emotions
  • Community
  • Perseverance
  • Healthy Living
  • Leadership

• Grade-Specific Lesson Plans:

  Each lesson is designed uniquely for Grade 4 learners.

  1 Curriculum Mentor Across All Units:

  Students follow the journey of Maddison Pearman, Olympic speed skater, throughout the year. This continuity helps students build a strong connection with their mentor.

  1 Dynamic Video per Unit:

  Each unit features a shorter, more engaging video led by Maddison. The new style is designed to be more relatable, digestible, and impactful for students.

  Flexible Lesson Structure:

  Lessons can be completed in one sitting or spread out over multiple days, depending on what works best for your classroom.

  Optional Extension Activities:

  Each unit includes extensions for deeper engagement and cross-curricular connections — perfect for educators looking to tie the themes into other subjects or dig deeper with their students.
