Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Student Planner Grade 7 - Paperback

by Janna Nobleza (Editor)

Middle school can be difficult for students; students have more independence, but their bodies and brains change. This is the beginning of the second big wave of brain development, and students need SEL to help them gain confidence and learn about healthy relationships.

This SEL planner was designed just for 7th-grade students, with 7th-grade brains, emotions, and social interactions in mind. This planner contains over 40 weeks of lessons and activities for teachers and students based on four themes:

1. Identity and Mindset
2. Courage and Kindness
3. A Place to Belong
4. A Healthy Well-being

Students learn from five life competencies.

• Self-awareness through songs, art, and physical activity that teach emotional vocabulary and a growth mindset.
• Self-management with an emphasis on learning tools to listen to your body and breath before making decisions.
• Responsible decision-making by practicing how they would respond with relevant examples and social stories.
• Relationship skills through acting, reading, and art activities that support the beginnings of building and maintaining friendships.
• Social awareness with an emphasis on recognizing differences in others and accepting these differences, and empathy.
