Quick Guidance Lessons: Focusing on Social Emotional Learning and Writing

This step-by-step, timed and interactive quick resource guide will assist counselors, after-school coordinators, teachers and other educators with implementing a small social skills groups. Each lesson addresses social emotional learning while incorporating quick- writes. Additionally, this resource was developed with the insight that many school counselors are not sure where to begin when developing small groups and often will avoid implementation. However, research shows that small groups are more effective than individual sessions in school settings. Of course the answer to this is rooted in the fact that kids will listen and engage with "peers" more than they will adults. With this in mind, this resource gives guidance to starting a group while at the same time allowing opportunities for students to hear short read-alouds and incorporate writing in a small structured environment. No longer will a school counselor, after-school coordinator or interested facilitator need to hold off on starting a social skills group.
