My Project

Social and emotional learning is essential to helping us ALL lead healthy, fulfilling lives. The CASEL competencies address five broad areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.

Unlike teachers, School Counselors are not routinely provided with curriculum or training to teach these important topics.

We often have to research, create, pay for, and download resources on our own. This takes time and energy, especially considering that I work with so many grades. It would be amazing to have grade-specific social-emotional workbooks that each student can take ownership of. My special needs students require direct teaching of themes such as: empathy, decision making, positive socialization, kindness and more. Many of the lessons in this book include social scenarios where they need to acknowledge the feelings of all involved. Students will gain a better understanding of the importance of social awareness, and ultimately be able to live compassionately. Students’ learning will be measured by a pre and post assessment. It is the hope that my students can treat each other more positively after being exposed to these social-emotional lessons. Please help to make counseling a more personalized and positive experience!
