Lesson Plans
Each of our lesson plans relates to one of the three ASCA domains: academic, personal/social or career. The “My Academic Skills Balloons” lesson plan was specifically created for the fourth, fifth and sixth grade students to address an array of academic competencies. The main objectives of this lesson plan are to familiarize students with a working definition of what academic skills are as well as cultivate an understanding of the numerous examples that constitute an academic skill. Examples of academic skills include: review all work, use a planner, work well with others, prioritize assignments and complete work on-time. Additionally through this lesson plan, students can develop knowledge of the connection between implementing sound academic skills and being successful in their post-secondary pursuits.
The career lesson plan called “My Career Sundae” was specifically created for the second, third, and fourth graders at the school to address an array of career competencies. The main objectives of this lesson plan are for students to develop a basic awareness of various careers that fall within the 16 Career Clusters, have a basic understanding of the educational level an individual must obtain to pursue each of the presented careers and choose a few careers that might be of personal interest.
Our personal/social lesson, the “Relationship Recipe”, is an activity that will teach first and second grade students to identify and utilize positive interpersonal skills to create and maintain healthy relationships with peers and adults. Using the recipe cultivation process, students will decide on “ingredients” that are necessary for healthy friendships.
In line with the ASCA National Model, we have included the "School Counseling Curriculum Action Plan". It provides a detailed overview of the resources, ASCA competencies/indicators, and projected data for our academic, career, and personal/social lesson plans.
