As students prepare to obtain jobs during the summer or after high school, they need to understand that they will deal with customers of all kinds and must prepare for it. Dealing with angry or difficult customers is part of the job. When interacting with customers, it is essential to have excellent customer service skills. The more skills they master and the more strategies they have to effectively communicate with customers and diffuse potential conflicts, the better prepared they’ll be for future employment.

This HUGE Customer Service Lesson and PowerPoint Packet is an INTRODUCTION to Customer Service.

This resource focuses on the following objectives:

✔ Students will examine and understand what customer service is, why it is important, and how it impacts consumers.

✔ Students will learn five essential customer service skills and practices that will help equip them to address customer needs and foster positive customer experiences.

✔ Students will explore behaviors and attitudes that illustrate poor customer service and great customer service.

✔ Students will learn and develop workplace readiness skills and understand key principles for engaging customers who are challenging while working in the workplace.

✔ Students will role-play scenarios to practice and highlight effective customer service skills. They will practice techniques to handle irate, difficult, and demanding customers and offer solutions to customer problems.

*******************************

❤️ Role-Playing ❤️

Students can discuss or role-play these common customer service scenarios and present worst/best case scenarios to the class. One student can act as the customer and the other can act as the employee handling the situation. Teacher and student observers can provide feedback and other possible scenario solutions. These highly relatable scenarios provide opportunities for students to demonstrate customer-service skills.

Customer Service Scenario IDEAS:

✨ After reading scenarios, you can hold a class discussion about the variety of strategies students can use to deal with difficult customers and deliver great customer service. Additionally, the scenarios can be used to discuss appropriate vs. inappropriate responses, actions, behaviors, and attitudes when handling customers in these situations.

✨ Student observers can identify effective customer service strategies being used in the role plays as well as offer constructive criticism about how students performed in their roles as customer service agents. They can offer other possible scenario solutions.

✨ One student role-plays as a customer and the other as a service representative. They can act out how each side might handle the given scenario, and once the issue is resolved, they switch roles. This will help them understand each side of the situation.

Imagine an academic year where students and educators alike grow, learn more about themselves and others, integrating mindful activities seamlessly throughout the school day. 

Imagine a classroom that is regulated, calm and present. 
Everything you need in one product. 
When practiced regularly, witness improved behavior outcomes, social skills, and overall social-emotional development of students.
We know you don’t want to have to learn another initiative.
We know you want something that works.
We know you don’t have a lot of time to spare.
Believe me, working in schools the past 17 years has taught me that educators need proven techniques that they can use simply.
We have your back and we understand the pressures of time, testing, busyness, distraction, and stress!
If you can do a little each day for yourself and your class, you will see the shift happen.

What does the shift look like?
It's returning to focus with less drama and emotional outbursts.
It’s putting a pause between impulse and action...in other words, self-control.
It’s freeing up your time from behavior management to connect with students.
It's easier transitions.
It’s learning along with your students, growing together.
It's your students feeling your love and presence.

Engage your students in making smart, balanced food choices with our Healthy Choices lesson and interactive worksheet! This resource guides students through understanding nutrition, making informed choices, and balancing meals to promote health and wellness.

Product Highlights:

• Whole Lesson Presentation: Students explore healthy choices through an engaging presentation that introduces different food groups, calorie counting, and balanced meal building.
• Interactive Food Choice Activity: Students select their ideal meal from a variety of food options on the presentation. Each food is paired with a number indicating calories, which students record and total to see how their choices add up.
• My Plate and Food Group Sorting Worksheets: Students can either sort their food choices into the My Plate format or organize them by food groups, helping them visualize balanced meals.
• Calorie Counting Discovery: As students tally their choices, they learn how calories vary between foods, especially when it comes to fast food options. A surprising reveal of New York Pizza topping the list at a calorie score of 9 opens up an insightful discussion on nutrition!
• Balanced Zone Check: At the end, students determine if their meal choices fall within the ideal "healthy range" of 16-22. If their total is too low, they may need to add more variety, while a high number can signal excess calories, sparking valuable reflections.

Why Educators Love This Resource:

• Student-Led Exploration: This lesson encourages students to make discoveries themselves, promoting active learning and critical thinking.
• Real-Life Application: Helps students connect nutrition concepts to real-life decisions, empowering them to make balanced food choices.
• Comprehensive and Visual: With options to sort foods by group or "My Plate," students can clearly see the structure of a well-balanced meal.

Ideal For:

• Teachers focusing on health and wellness topics for elementary or early middle school students.
• Classrooms aiming to develop life skills in making informed dietary choices.
• Educators wanting an interactive, student-led lesson in nutrition that’s both educational and fun.

This social emotional learning lesson uses Sandra Cisneros's short story Eleven. During this SEL lesson, students read the short story, view a YouTube video, and reflect on their own stress responses. There are journal entries and opportunities for small and large group discussions as well.

This resource includes:

- links to all relevant materials

- an engaging Google Slides presentation to follow

- a lesson guide which lays out each step of the lesson along with timing

- a self-graded Google Form test

This resource could easily be used by a substitute.

This lesson has always been a favorite of my middle school students. The topic is enlightening for kids who have felt stress responses without understanding what is really happening in their brains and bodies (pretty much all kids). Eleven is a fantastic story to use when learning about stress response because readers are often frustrated by the way the main character responds to the stressor she faces. This is a great way to integrate SEL into an English class.

This product features an engaging "Effective Effort Talk" activity that will have your students thinking, writing, moving, and speaking about effective effort and growth mindset. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about effort from famous figures like John F. Kennedy and Theodore Roosevelt and articulate why the quote aligns with their own perspective using their own experiences to explain their opinion. I use this lesson every year to set the tone for the effort I expect for them to put into my class - it is a great way to gain insight about what they currently think about effort and can be referenced throughout the entire year!

Product includes:

• Comprehensive Lesson Plan
• "Effective Effort Talk" Sheet for students to fill out
• 6 Corresponding "Effort Quote" signs to hang up around your room

This lesson plan is recommended for middle and high school students in any class.
