Understanding Identity SEL Presentation + Activity

By Erin Cusumano

This lesson emphasizes where students derive their sense of identity from and how to go about exploring their self-identity, with a no-prep activity to practice.

Older kids are capable of not just knowing characteristics about themselves, but starting to deepen their self-identity with understanding of why they are the person they are. Students will explore their self-identity while considering that they have social roles and influences that shape how they understand themselves.

If age appropriate, this can lead to discussion about family/community patterns. I find children often know their triggers and problem behaviors, but if they can identify why they have a trigger self-compassion can be applied and solutions may become more clear.

Ex. My older brother is in all honors classes and my parents compare me to him. This makes academic corrections and poor grades a big trigger for me because it reminds me of that feelings I get at home.

The slides and worksheet are simple to increase comprehension and suit middle through high school students.

This lesson includes presentation notes (discussion points and questions slide-by-slide included) (2 pages) and slides to present (6 slides, including instructions to a no prep activity, creating an Identity Map).

Expressing Feelings SEL Presentation and Activity

By Erin Cusumano

This lesson teaches about expression of feelings to others by breaking down positive and negative forms of expression, organizing positive expression into steps, encouraging taking responsibility for your own feelings, and teaching I-Statements.

Middle and high school students can begin to explore how they are responsible for managing their feelings through this topic. The aim of the lesson is to give students the tools to identify and use positive forms of expression and communication. This lesson ties together multiple CASEL skills including self-awareness, social awareness, and self-management.

An I-statement worksheet is included to allow practice of the skill and a no-prep expressing feelings activity is outlined.

Disagreeing Respectfully SEL Presentation + Worksheet

By Erin Cusumano

This lesson provides a framework (including a step-by-step break downs and examples) for situations where disagreement arises. The lesson covers when it is productive to voice disagreement, when it is not, steps to handle both situations, and how to move past disagreement when it is not able to be resolved.

With middle and high school students I find this topic is relevant just about everyday in the classroom with peers and staff. I carefully made this lesson to cover disagreement neutrally, not framing it as universally good or bad, but dependent on context and delivery.

This lesson is a great chance to add in activities that promote self-advocacy and larger themes of pro-social communication. The lesson includes a presentation (10 slides), a worksheet (2 pages), and a presentation guide (1 page). With other free sources (which I discuss in the presentation guide) I made this lesson span over 4 days.

The slides and worksheet are simple to increase comprehension and suit middle through high school students.

Using Coping Skills SEL Lesson + Activity

By Erin Cusumano

This lesson teaches about how coping skills work to improve our mental health when practiced. Positive vs. negative coping skills are covered, problem-focused vs. emotion-focused coping skills are distinguished, and how coping skills work to affect thoughts, feelings and actions are all broken down.

If middle and high school students have been in any SEL program before they likely have heard a lot about the importance of coping skills and been instructed to identify their own. So, this lesson aims to help students understand how coping skills affect their mental health to make informed choices when choosing and implementing them. Then, students choose a coping skill to focus on and make a project about. This aims to give students a chance to talk about coping skills using the knowledge provided, instead of passively taking in more information on the topic.

This lesson is a great chance to get students talking with each other about helpful coping skills! The lesson includes a presentation (7 slides), a worksheet (1 pages), and example project (1 page) and a presentation guide (4 pages).

The slides and worksheet are simple to increase comprehension and suit middle through high school students.

Empathy Practice Worksheet

By Erin Cusumano

This worksheet challenges students to use perspective taking skills and answer questions about someone they care about. Students are prompted to answer about the feelings/preferences of someone they know, the thoughts behind why they feel that way, and to look for something in common (thoughts, experiences, motivations) between themselves and this person.

This worksheet aims to give students a chance to practice "stepping in to someone else's shoes" and extending their understanding of that persons experience.

Making Responsible Decisions w/ Values SEL Lesson + Worksheet

By Erin Cusumano

This lesson provides a framework (including a step-by-step break down) for decision making. A pivotal part of the framework is applying values to help you decide on the best choice for you. Values are explored, promoting self-awareness, and incorporated into decision making skills. The lesson also differentiates between consequential and inconsequential decisions to encourage thinking about what choices require more thought and energy.

As middle and high schoolers are headed toward bigger, more consequential decisions this lesson enables them to identify their values and emphasizes the role knowing your values plays in making choices that align with the life students want and the people students want to be.

The slides and worksheet are simple to increase comprehension and suit middle through high school students.

This lesson includes presentation notes (discussion points and questions slide-by-slide included) (2 pages), slides to present (8 slides) , and a worksheet (1 page).
