Pro-Social Skills for Teens Ages 13-15 (50 Minute Class)

This class is taught in English.

I have a Specialist Degree in Education with a major in Educational Psychology and Counselor Education.  I have been guiding students for 14 years.   Social emotional Learning is a huge part of my classes.  I have been involved in helping students to build their self-esteem and confidence, make and keep friends, learn to solve conflicts, understand feelings and learn to express them constructively.  

Homework is occasionally given to support learners understanding of the lesson content.  Homework is never mandatory and it is usually a fun activity for the student (often using flipgrid). 

50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Nearpod, Flipgrid, youtube, peardeck and gimkit may be used during the class.  

For instructions on setting up nearpod there are a couple of options: 
Option #1:  Setting Up With Two Devices
If your learner has access to two devices, they can utilize them both to complete the lesson. These devices can be any of the two mentioned below:
-IPad/Tablet -Smartphone -Desktop Computer -Laptop
On one device, you will login to Outschool and join the class on zoom as you would for any other class.

On the second device, you will login to Outschool and find the Nearpod
link under the classroom tab in a post from the teacher. Click this link to
open the Nearpod lesson on your second device.

*Students can use a mouse or touch-screen! If using a mouse, it is best if the student is familiar with how to use a mouse to draw
and interact on screen.  The learner will be able to see Zoom on the first device and participate in the interactive Nearpod lesson on the second device.

Option #2:  Setting Up With One Device
For students using one device, click the link provided by the teacher under the classroom tab in Outschool. It works best if you do this 5-10 minutes prior to class time.

You will split your device screen to show Nearpod on one half and Zoom on the other half of the screen. Every device works differently as to how you are able to split the screen to show Zoom on one side and Nearpod on the other. If you are not sure how to do this with your specific device, we recommend using Google to find instructions on how
to do this with your specific device.

**Please note: If you are using an iPad as your one device, you are not able to split the screen with Zoom and Nearpod. The student will have to have Zoom in the background and will only be able to hear the teacher in
order to keep Nearpod up and to participate in the lesson.

We recommend using a second device (such as a smartphone) if you are using an ipad.
