PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - SOCIAL SKILLS AND LEADERSHIP
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for the Radcliffe community to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
Social Skills teaches students about their role as communicators. Students practice how to plan and execute appropriate language, tone, and behaviors in a variety of group settings. Students work to improve awareness and regulation of thoughts, feelings and behaviors, as well as empathy and perspective taking. Students learn strategies to effectively handle conflict and improve their relationships. These classes also allow for individualized objectives based on students' needs.

|
| Mattox, Grace, and Aidan work on cracking communication and problem solving puzzles in an escape room challenge. |
|
|
|
| Students in 3rd period Social Skills bowl for multiple solutions. |
|
|
|
| Ella adds a little creativity to whole body listening and conflict resolution activities. |
|
In Leadership, all students take part in a self directed passion project and presentation. Effective communication skills are reinforced along with leadership qualities. Students learn the value of SMART goal setting to develop specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely goals. Leadership is a great opportunity for students to take ownership of their own learning and reach out to the community.
Mrs. Sheubrooks' 5th period students (below) are very proud of their passion projects that include ideas for new enrichment classes, WWII facts, and even plans for a cottage on the creek!
