Unit 1: Self-Awareness

Unit one is centered around the social-emotional competency of Self-Awareness. Skills and lessons within this unit focus on how we see ourselves and recognizing how others see us. Self-awareness helps us recognize our strengths, gives us perspective when we experience challenges and helps us identify and manage our emotions. Week one’s focus on identity and self-esteem will empower students to see themselves and their value. In week two, we move on to identifying our emotions and learning strategies to help manage our reactions to a wide variety of situations. This unit’s exploration of self will support students’ growth and confidence and they prepare to enter into their new home communities.
