Communication skills are an overarching Health standard, as well as a major component of Social Emotional Learning. If we want students to “talk it out” or “use a refusal skill”, we need to provide them with clear criteria and multiple opportunities to practice. Join Diane Farthing, 2020 Western District Teacher of the Year for Health Education and co-author of the G-W Health Skills for High School textbook, as we focus on activities to help middle and high school students identify their feelings, create appropriate responses for a variety of situations, and assess achievement of our communication standards.
