How this program creates
authentic social emotional learning and character development:
Rationale: Developmentally, socially and
emotionally, all middle school students are desperately fighting for personal power.
Across all economic and cultural strata students are having great difficulty dealing with
their past and present experiences which create the negative messages in their
automatic thoughts. These thoughts often cripple their ability to learn, thrive and succeed.
("I’m not
good enough". "I am not lovable, safe etc.")
These
negative thoughts and emotions need to be
addressed and healed
before
we can replace them with new
survival skills that build character and
personal power.
A Four Part
cognitive-emotional-behavioral video-driven curriculum
for building character, managing anger, and
strengthening self-esteem –
(see table of
contents for specific character education required objectives)
1. A Wake-Up-Call – examining the areas where
life is just not "working" through
gripping
videos of real
teens and processing group activities.
2. Willingness to Change – What is my part in
this problem? Group processing
activity.
3. Deleting the Negative – Giving up grudges
and forgiveness group activities and
video.
4. Using new Survival Skills – Acquiring
personal power using emotional/anger
management skills,
discovering talents and giving back.
