Active Listening: Are You Hearing Me Or Listening?, Taylor Jones

Goal 3: Interpersonal Intelligence Narrative

Be able to determine the difference between hearing someone when being spoken to and actively listening to them

Do you ever talk with someone and realize they aren’t listening? Sure, they hear the words that leave your mouth but are not genuinely listening: they may not be present, texting, staring off into space, etc. If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation like this, on either side, you run the risk of making someone feel neglected and undervalued, and you could miss out on important information. Active listening requires attentiveness to the speaker so you, as the listener, can understand …

Healthy V Unhealthy Relationships Program, Alyssa Gehrke

Goal 3: Interpersonal Intelligence Narrative

Adolescents and young adults are going through their years of experiencing some of the most formative relationships and relationship experiences they will have in their life. It is important, therefore, that they be taught about healthy and unhealthy behaviors that can occur in relationships, that they gain knowledge in how to help someone in an unhealthy relationship, and that students understand the nuances of relationships—no relationship is perfect. We will also look at how, due to the rise of media and social media, our views of healthy and unhealthy relationships become influenced by the media. Therefore, the purpose of this …

Boundary Setting Program, Alyssa Gehrke

Goal 2: Life Skills Narrative

It is difficult for anybody, but especially teens and young adults, to understand what their boundaries are and to know how to communicate them with others. This impacts this age group (teens and young adults) most specifically because when we are young, we are both implicitly and explicitly told to mold and change our wants and needs to make others feel more comfortable. So, when living away from home for the first time and living with and being surrounded by new people who they are just getting to know it can be natural for them to want to continue molding …

Imagination To Innovation: Design Thinking For Young Learners, Lindsey Herlehy, Cassandra Armstrong

Design thinking is the intersection of engineering design and social-emotional learning. Today’s learners must be empathetic problem solvers capable of defining problems and designing appropriate solutions to meet the needs of the user. In this session, participants will experience design thinking through literature-based scenarios appropriate for early learners. They will analyze and compare their own models to those of others and compose a lesson that will engage students in the design thinking process.

Knowing Your Identities, Alyssa Gehrke

Goal 3: Interpersonal Intelligence Narrative

Students moving to a new space are going to be exposed to people with differing identities from them as well as people with similar identities to them. Entering these conversations, whether you have experience with them or not, can be intimidating and students may feel judged or that they will be easily misunderstood. Through this program, students will think critically about the importance of understanding identity in understanding oneself, others, and how the world/society interacts with different people. Being able to navigate conversations surrounding identity and its impact on a person’s lived experience is essential to forming and sustaining relationships. …
