For Schools
Student Life Skills works as a stand alone SEL program or is an excellent addition to your current SEL curriculum.
Parents love being on the same page, same life skills and using the same language as the school.
Children benefit when the team is cohesive with their lesson and concepts.
How Schools Use SLS
1. With the online membership, teachers can download and print single lessons and worksheets to teach that day.
2. Teachers have the SLS whiteboard in the classroom.
3. The lesson plan: Pick a skill, teach it using the life skill pages: Info and Worksheet. Plus, show the animation with children discussing that same life skill.
4. Teachers may lead a discussion rather than lecture. The learning phase is very quick, and the doing and practicing is at the heart of SLS.
5. Teachers may ask: How did you use this life skill recently? How can you use it in a future situation? Did you notice anyone in the class using a life skill?
"I am a retired teacher with 35 years experience, and am excited to recommend Student Life Skills. My students absorbed the lessons quickly, preparation time was minimal, and parents felt connected and supportive. Mostly, I noticed my students' social and emotional lives improve."
Shirley C
Chicagoland Teacher for 35 years
"I taught young children for 32 years and implemented Pauls Sweetow’s Student Life Skills Program.I taught one skill per week and the children were engaged in learning to better understand themselves and their emotions. We assume that young children have the necessary tools to interact with peers in a positive way and make responsible decisions. I observed the children learning common language, setting goals and learning how to resolve conflict in a positive way. The parents were able to integrate the learning practices at home to help the children strengthen their social and emotional skills. I utilized many different programs over my tenure as a teacher but Paul Sweetow's Student Life Skills Program helps children develop a tool kit they can utilize to be successful learners and friends."
