Interview & Build Blueprint

Students will strengthen relationship skills by interviewing a peer and co-creating a digital board that highlights their partner’s strengths, demonstrating empathy, active listening, and positive feedback.

Building relationship skills through peer interviews fosters empathy, communication, and teamwork, aligning with CASEL competencies and creating a supportive classroom community.
