Project Adventure, Inc. - SEL for Tier II interventions

Schools and youth programs are stretched thin when it comes to serving students who need extra support. Group work – such as boys’/girls’ groups, lunch bunches, or Tier 2 social support groups – can be a great way to provide targeted SEL services to more of our students. The group process is also a powerful way to help our students develop. In this online workshop, participants will learn strategies to make Tier 2 SEL groups effective. Our methodology can help you design a group for your students’ needs and build your own Perfect Circle. Participants will: Understand phases of group development and learn activity models to guide groups through their development; Utilize rituals and shared values in the creation of a positive group experience; Learn and use various activities and discussion techniques to help group members build trust and successfully manage conflicts as they move through their stages of group development;
Identify best practices in group facilitation including recruitment, curriculum design, conflict management, reflection, and transition/termination.
