Each class participates in a monthly lesson with me exploring topics such as: self-confidence and self-concept, motivation to achieve, decision making, goal setting, planning, problem-solving, interpersonal skills, communication skills, responsible behavior, and cross-cultural effectiveness.
Students that may need additional Social and/or Emotional support can be a good candidate for a counseling small group. Small groups meet with me weekly for 30 minute lessons for 6-8 weeks in order to learn concepts and skills that will help them to be most successful in life and at school. Small group space is limited.
Responsive services are designed to meet students’ immediate needs and concerns in critical or crisis situations. Crisis response includes intervention and follow-up to the immediate need in order to prevent the situation from becoming more severe. I am able to support children and families experiencing acute or specific needs by connecting them with community resources. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to know more.
Leader In Me is a district-wide leadership development curriculum. Teachers teach a Leader In Me lesson two mornings per week. Leader in Me is based on the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Steven Covey.
