Middle School Social Emotional Learning Resources

This project encourages students to choose an SEL topic of their own interest and create a presentation and activity as if they were delivering a lesson on it.

This project allows students to take the format of SEL lessons they've learned from and practice using it themselves to find, understand, and share information. This benefits individual students, as they can explore information of interest, and allows the educator to gauge what topics their students are curious about for future lessons.

If you have students present their lessons they also get practice talking about SEL topics and respectfully listening to peers do the same. I find this to be a great end of year project to wrap up SEL learning.

With presentations this project can be made to take up a whole week of SEL instruction (based on a 30-45 minute period a day). Day 1 students can hand in their topic and activity idea for teacher feedback, days 2-3 students can create the material, and day 4-5 students can present. Examples are simple for clarity and to suit a range of students, but expectations can be adjusted based on grade-level. This project includes a packet with clear instructions (with examples) and space for students to write their chosen topic and activity, an example slideshow, and two example activities that accompany the slideshow.

Create a community of kindness in your classroom with the Puzzle piece template We all fit together heart! This lesson includes a puzzle piece template for each student to decorate with words and drawings that show how they can be kind and respectful. The completed puzzle forms a heart centerpiece where students and staff can add additional messages of kindness. This We All Fit Together Puzzle Heart serves as a visual reminder that each student plays a unique role in building a positive environment. Perfect for fostering unity and social-emotional learning!
