During this multi-day class, we will be working on social skills that we can practice in a safe space and put to use in every day life. Each week will have a chance to learn and practice, and give the students a chance to interact and make friends with one another. Teaching these social and life skills is one of my big passions. I look forward to student and teacher interaction and discussion in our live weekly classes. For each week, we will have a topic to discussion, and we will have a few minutes of introduction to the topic, discussion of the topic, and then practice of some of the tips/techniques related to the topic (for most of these sessions, group discussion is the practice). Any activities/resources needed for each class will be provided by the teacher. These topics will build on each other week after week: Week 1: Self-Introduction, meeting, and getting to know others Week 2: Continuing to make friends - getting to know others Week 3: Things we have in common: values, beliefs, likes, and dislikes Week 4: What is Assertiveness? - Being able to respectfully to say what you mean and how you feel. Week 5: What we have to offer others: self-confidence/self-esteem lesson 1 Week 6: self-confidence/self-esteem lesson 2 Week 7: Problem solving with others
Learning Goals
Students will be able to learn and practice social skills that will help communicate better with others, identify emotions in themselves and others, solve problems with others, work through social anxieties or difficulties, and more.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a recently retired Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a focus on children and adolescents. I taught material identical to this in public schools and group programs for 3 years, and this class is adapted from the classes I led there. During my time in public schools, I adapted social skills and life skills materials for students from Kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. There will also be resources made available to students to work through on their own or as reference material based on some of the classes available.
