One of the most important aspect of being an educator for me is helping students grow and develop their social and emotional skills. I want students to feel comfortable being themselves and open to accepting others. I strongly believe in promoting anti-bullying program in my classroom. It is not only my job to help students develop as scholars but to help them develop as community members and as young people.
Second Step is a social and emotional development program that consists of lessons plans that focus on the social-emotional standards. During my internship I used the standards and the lessons to create my own second step lessons that worked for our classroom and were meaningful for my students. |
