🎥Please watch my class video so that you have correct expectations for this class.🎥 🎦Please be aware that keeping your camera enabled is a requirement for this course. If temporary circumstances require that a student needs to attend a single meeting without video enabled, please contact me and I may make an exception. (Students will still be required to check in on video at the beginning of class as this is OS safety policy.)🎦 This class has 33 topics, each covering a different social...
Learn and practice social skills that are valuable for success in life.
I have a graduate degree in clinical mental health, an undergraduate degree in psychology, and 6 years experience working directly with teens to develop social skills and discuss difficult topics.
Homework Offered
Handouts will will be offered frequently (though not every week) to supplement what we are learning. We will often look over them in class. These are not required and no grade is given. I am available to give feedback or answer questions on completed worksheets as requested.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Handouts will be posted to the classroom before sessions as needed. In general, it would be wise for students to bring paper and writing utensils to class. If students need basic art supplies or any other basic supplies, these will also be posted to the classroom 24 hours before the session.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Discussions of a sensitive nature could easily arise in class sessions. However, I am skilled in directing discussions appropriately and notifying parents if needed. Any videos or role-play used will always be age appropriate and related to to learning about the topic of the week. If you have any concerns about a particular class topic, please feel free to reach out to me for more specifics. During the "free socialization" part of the class (at the end) we may use various websites to play games. These can include: Blooket, gimkit, garticphone, skribbl.io, kahoot. These activities may or may not be related to lesson content. The goal of this part of the class is to have the kids engage in a fun activity that will encourage them to be social with each other. No accounts are needed to use these resources. Students will be able to access games via links sent by the teacher in chat. Students sometimes request to share funny videos during this part of the class. I will allow this as long as they are appropriate.
Social Skills Strategies by Ester R. A. Leutenberg & Carol Butler, MS Ed, RN, C (illustrated by Amy L. Brodsky, LISW-S ) was used to come up with the topics for this class. Reproducible activities from the text will often be used for classes. Other sources will also be used throughout sessions. Source information will be included as sources are used. DISCLAIMER: My teaching of this course is in no way associated with the author or publisher of this material. I have adapted this material as appropriate to my online classroom.
