Classroom Lessons

School Counselors work toward systemic change through delivering classroom lessons focused on topics such as skill-building, empathy and citizenship. At MAE, Kindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten lessons are taught weekly and 1st through 5th Grade lessons are taught monthly. All lessons are subject to change from year-to-year but they will always address developmental growth in the three ASCA domains: Academic, Social-Emotional, and Career. Typically lesson knowledge will remain consistent between grade levels but the lessons themselves will differ in content and rigor. Much like small groups, classroom lessons are interactive with discussions, videos, books, games and activities to engage students, provide time to work on developing new skills and encourage lifelong learning.
