Botvin Lifeskills Training for BCHS Freshmen
For the last several weeks, Bishop Chatard freshmen have been taking LifeSkills Training lessons in PE class. This program was chosen because it addresses factors that were identified as impediments to social/emotional learning and the transition to high school. Students used a workbook throughout the program, which they were asked to bring home and keep as a reference at the conclusion of the lessons. Please ask your child to show you the workbook and discuss anything they learned. Many topics were covered, all of which fall under the categories of Personal Self Management, General Social Skills, and Social Resistance Skills. For more information on the program
