Social Savvy Lesson Plan

Equip teachers and school leaders with research-backed strategies to cultivate social awareness in students through interactive videos, discussions, games, and a culminating project that fosters empathy and inclusive classroom climates.

Building social awareness strengthens student empathy, reduces peer conflict, and supports a positive classroom climate. Educators trained in these strategies can better meet diverse needs—including IEP/504 plans and ELL supports—leading to more inclusive, respectful learning communities.
