Grit Gal Teaches Social-Emotional Skills: Volume 2

By Kenneth J Kohutek

Follow Chloe, Josh, and their friends as they make their way through the halls of middle school. Around every corner lurks a situation which creates choices the students must make. Fortunately, our students are not alone because Grit Gal, an almost superhero, is there to assure the most productive decision is made. As she helps, she shows the students how S.N.A.P. can be used in the daily decision-making process. This may not be the only book on your shelf covering CASEL's domains of social emotional learning, but it should be the most often used. Each chapter is set in the middle school setting like those in most neighborhoods. The challenges are real life situations with the names of students and settings changed. There are 500 discussion questions organized in the CASEL's domains. The questions follow Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning ranging from rote memory to applying situations in daily lives. This makes Grit Gal Teaches Social Skills a ready to use volume suitable for reading, discussion, or assessing mastery of specific skills. The Grit Gal volumes are not intended to replace Social Emotional Programs. Rather, it is meant to complement a program because the themes of each chapter can be read as situations arise. This is advantageous because most of the more formal programs are in modules which follow a sequence of presentations which may not be relevant to what is happening in the classroom.
