GUIDance Topics
Guidance lessons are designed to help students feel connected in the classroom, develop social-emotional skills, and to develop important life skills. Guidance lessons are conducted twice monthly. Many guidance lessons will be based off of character traits from the highly researched Character Lab.
Below are examples of the topics I teach during classroom guidance:
*Responsibility
*Cooperation/Working with others
*Drug and Alcohol awareness and prevention
*Career and College Awareness
*Understanding and dealing with feelings appropriately
*Decision-making/consequences of decisions
*Kindness and compassion
*Study skills/academic success/trying your best
*Problem-Solving/coping with difficult situations
*Friendships/Interpersonal/Social Skills/Anti-Bullying
*Personal Safety/Anti-victimization
*Appreciating and respecting one's own culture and other cultures
