Description
Forty customizable weekly lessons to teach, model, and reinforce life-long social, emotional, and behavioral skills
Overview
The aim of the program is to empower teachers, schools, and their students to create Courageous Classrooms by providing each a basic understanding of the body’s response to toxic stress and trauma, teaching new skills to cope with everyday triggers and school-related stressors, and reinforcing resilience and positive behavior. The content is designed to fit into elementary classrooms or school-wide Tier I behavioral health supports, but it can be easily adapted for all grade levels and generalized for all settings – including a child’s home, school, and community.
Materials Included
- Comprehensive introductory video that introduces educators to the program concepts, implementation strategies, and underlying philosophy of how to support student’s social, emotional, and behavioral growth
- 40 customizable weekly lessons (4 comprehensive units with 5 stand-alone lessons)
- PowerPoint lessons to introduce and teach each skill in the classroom
- Classroom visuals and/or poster of each skill or set of skills
- Student worksheets for additional practice and review of each skill
- Weekly staff emails for sharing information across a school or school system
- Weekly parent/guardian letters to help extend lessons into homes and communities
- Access to a community (through a closed Facebook group) of like-minded professionals actively using the Skill of the Week program. Teach, learn, and grow together as experts in social-emotional learning.
