This resource is part of our Mission Launchpad Programme resources for supporting emotional literacy and emotional regulation in busy classrooms (& homes).

These ready-to-teach slides introduce children to Mission Control and the four desk buttons, with growth mindset content to explore together as a class. They’re grounded in self-concept and growth mindset research (Dweck), so you can teach self-esteem explicitly, with no prep needed.

Mission Control: self-esteem, growth mindset and agency-based resources for primary classrooms.

Every mission needs someone at the controls, and in Mission Launchpad, that’s the child. Mission Control is our self-esteem and identity pack for primary schools. It helps children recognise their strengths, celebrate what makes them unique and know that they matter, always.

Inside Mission Control you’ll find Crew Commendation cards for spotting strengths, a Crew ID badge children design themselves, the Confidence Crew trusted adults activity, a Still Training growth mindset dial and ready-to-teach slides. It also slots straight into your PSHE and emotional literacy curriculum, so every child can say with confidence: “Mission Control, I lead my own mission.”
