My students are in Special Education and diagnosed with social/emotional disabilities that classify them as Affective Needs. They struggle with using social/emotional skills to interact with other high school students, be successful in a classroom setting, and make positive choices when faced with challenging situations. This often leads them to making harmful choices that leads to severe discipline actions. The students come to class wanting to learn how to use social/emotional support tools to help them successfully navigate the challenges they experience in and out of school. They often get bored with the normal classroom material and relate better to interactive lessons, lessons that relate to their life and their struggles, and lessons that they can participate in. These students are committed to be successful in class, but often do not make the correct choices as they have not learned basic social/emotional skills. These students struggle with high school social/emotional events.
