For Teachers

Everything you need to run GGU with a whole classroom of girls.

Free facilitator guide

Start here: a 5-minute setup

  1. 1. Pick the track that matches your grade band (see below).
  2. 2. Share your classroom access code so every girl unlocks her books.
  3. 3. Project the Read tab; let girls follow along on tablets or in print.
  4. 4. Close each session with one keepsake saved to her Glow Journal.

Choose your track

  • Little Leaders · Ages 5–10Big feelings, big dreams, tiny queens in training.
  • Rising Queens · Ages 11–13Real talk about identity, emotions and owning your voice.
  • Future Queens · Ages 14–18Adulting, entrepreneurship, and standards you never lower.

Pacing that fits a class period

  • • One chapter ≈ one 45-minute session (or two 25-minute mini sessions).
  • • Read together (15 min) → activity page (15 min) → brain game (10 min) → share out (5 min).
  • • Brain games unlock after a lesson is finished — great as an earned reward.
  • • A full book runs about 5 weeks with one session per week.

Running it with a group

  • • Use the Community tab for circle prompts and partner shares.
  • • Pair girls for the Notes tab so quieter students still get a voice.
  • • Print the workbook pages for students without devices — same content.
  • • Keep the ground rule simple: what's shared in the circle stays in the circle.

What it builds

  • • SEL: self-awareness, self-management, relationship skills, responsible decisions.
  • • Financial literacy: earning, saving, spending, investing, protecting.
  • • Literacy: read-aloud practice, vocabulary, reflective writing.
  • • Leadership: goal setting, service projects and public voice.
