My Project

SEL is a critical part of the culture at our high school. As a counselor, I wear many hats and need to adapt to the needs of students and whatever weather each day brings.

Each of these requested items will uniquely be used to move students closer to the core social and emotional competencies: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness.

The fidget toys are for those tough to have conversations. The snacks help to build relationships with students because they know they can come ask me for a bag of Goldfish if they are hungry or need a boost. The Board games will build teamwork, to encourage interaction with peers, and teach students how to critically think and address conflict. Craft materials will help students unwind and take their mind off of whatever might feel heavy that day. Floor pillows will assist and grow our Mindfulness Room. The posters will brighten the hallways and my office and passively promote a growth mindset
