On this page, you'll find lessons on a variety of topics related to Social and Emotional Learning. While we've labeled these particular lessons as designed for level three, the lessons here are intended to build upon previous knowledge of the topic. You may wish to use these particular lessons with any group that are looking to deepen their understanding of these topics.
Most of these lessons are the final of a series of three, with one lesson designated for each grade level. The other lessons in the series can be located by looking for the same topic under the corresponding grade level, such that the lessons labeled "Forgiveness" on the level one page, level two page, and level three page are a series. There are also buttons at the bottom of each lesson that allow you to navigate directly to the other lessons in the series.
While these lessons were written in groups of three, most of the lesson plans can also stand alone with some minor adjustments, such that you could choose to begin anywhere or complete all three lessons on a topic at once, depending on your students' needs and goals.
Being able to communicate respectfully and meaningfully is a vital part of navigating the world and maintaining healthy communities. Without effective communication, we not only see conflict grow, but we miss out on connection with the people around us.
THIS LESSON further develops students' listening and connection skills by introducing them to storytelling and guiding them in identifying hidden connections with their peers.
Conflict is an inevitable part of life, but it can be overwhelming and intimidating to navigate situations that are tense or aggressive. Sometimes tensions can rise faster than we are prepared to prevent or respond, and things can get out of control on both sides.
THIS LESSON guides students in learning to resolve conflict through self-advocacy, reflection, non-violent communication, and respectful dialogue.
Consent is about giving permission for something to happen or agreement to do something. It helps build healthy boundaries and bodily autonomy.
THIS LESSON guides students in considering additional factors such as bystander intervention, and invites students to think critically, problem solve, and take action.
Forgiveness is complex, both as a concept and as a process. There are often many emotions involved on both sides when someone has been hurt or wronged, and forgiveness is a vital part of mending others' sense of physical and emotional safety and connectedness.
THIS LESSON guides students in learning more about stereotypes and the power they carry to impact themselves and others.
Our personal strengths are unique gifts that we can lean on. By identifying them, leaning into them, and sharing them, we can increase resilience. Resilience is a protective factor against mental health concerns and helps us succeed in the face of hardship.
THIS LESSON helps students to understand how their unique strengths have influenced their lives in defining moments. Students share these experiences in a listening circle.
Technology is becoming increasingly present in the lives of teenagers, whose social environments extend far into the social media universe. Maintaining a safe and and balanced relationship with social media is a vital skill for healthy teens.
THIS LESSON introduces the concept of digital citizenship, what it means, and how to practice it. Students will discuss the importance of being a good digital citizen.
As students develop into young adults, they are increasingly expected to be responsible for their actions and able to navigate the world more independently and with more maturity than before. There are many facets that go into personal responsibility.
THIS LESSON introduces students to the concept of personal power and guides thinking on how power can be harnessed to impact positive change in our lives and communities.
Everyday stress and responsibilities can begin to take a toll on our bodies and minds. Mindfulness is just one kind of skill that can help us re-center. It involves drawing our focus to the present moment, and suspending judgment on the past or future.
THIS LESSON expands student understanding of mindfulness by exploring changes that can occur in the brain as a result of practicing mindfulness.
Stress is a pretty inevitable part of life, and comes in many forms. Some kinds of stress feel manageable and help us to grow, while other kinds of stress can be overwhelming, require extra coping skills, and be harmful if not managed properly.
THIS LESSON empowers students to take action against their own stress and the stress of others by learning to identify warning signs of stress, distinguish between healthy and unhealthy coping skills, and voice concern and support for peers.
Relationships are an inevitable part of life, no matter your age. Healthy, productive people can maintain and navigate many different kinds of relationships, including those with family, friends, authority figures, and romantic partners.
