SCPE 5 –Social/Emotional Development
Helping students understand their emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and build the skills needed for positive relationships and personal growth.
Mission Control: You're the Pilot
Understanding Emotions: Small Group Curriculum
For this small-group counseling curriculum, I focused on helping students in grades 3–5 develop a better understanding of their emotions and learn healthy ways to manage them. Using the theme "Mission Control: You're the Pilot," I created lessons that encourage students to identify their feelings, recognize emotional triggers, understand their body's warning signs, and practice coping strategies through interactive activities and discussions.
This curriculum connects to SCPE 5 because it demonstrates how school counselors can support students' social/emotional development by teaching self-awareness, emotional regulation, and responsible decision-making.
