6th-8th Social and Emotional Health for Middle Schoolers

At this middle school level class, the class would focus on enhanced communication skills, managing relationships and family dynamics, cultivating empathy and perspective taking. We will focus on how to build resilience, identify personal strengths and weaknesses and how to communicate respectfully and clearly. We will explore how to resolve hypothetical conflicts.  Peer pressure, setting boundaries and changing friendship dynamics will also be discussed. We will also address digital citizenship and responsible online behavior. Our goal is that middle schools will become equipped by knowing themselves better, having empathy for those around them and be able to identify healthy vs unhealthy relationships and coping skills. Homework will not be weekly, but we will have a few projects per semester.
