One of my favorite parts of my job is going into classrooms and facilitating lessons based in mental health and overall wellness. These lessons are typically 30 minutes long and are presented once or twice per month. These lessons have a focus on the character trait of the month and are aligned to the ASCA National Model to enhance academic, social emotional needs, and college and career awareness. Below you will find our Character Traits of the Month as well as my planned curriculum map by grade level. The lessons were designed with input from my needs assessment that staff, parents, and students completed at the beginning of the year.
