What’s Included
For Teachers: K12 Classroom Activities
K12 teachers enjoy 180 fully scripted, simple-to-implement daily activities for the classroom. And because it’s only 5 minutes each day, your teachers can easily include in their daily routine without additional work or pressure.
For School Counselors: Small Group Activities
Your school counselors will have weekly scripted activities for small pull-out groups on a variety of targeted topics. These 8-12 week group sessions cover anxiety, depression, grief, addiction in the home, wildfire loss, and more.
For Staff: Weekly Staff Meeting Activities
Your entire staff can experience weekly activities to deepen their social emotional learning skills. This focused, foundational building of skills will enhance school culture and help all aspects of your school run more smoothly.
Staff and Student Surveys
Three times a year, students and staff are encouraged to complete surveys. Student questions include how many friends they have, how many students they’re afraid of and what kinds of problems they wish someone could address. Staff surveys give insights about amount of teaching time lost to student conflict and numbers of students who are cause for concern for anger management, depression, etc. This is your data!
Occasional Special Prompt Sets
When major crisis strikes, we sometimes provide specific prompts districts can choose to use. For example, we have a whole set of prompts for schools that have been impacted by wildfires. We provided a set on civility regarding the elections and wrote a long blog following George Floyd’s death to give teachers a starting place to address these issues with students.
The 5 Radical Minutes program brought a level of comfort to my freshman classroom that allowed all students to contribute to the classroom activities and allowed them to add their own unique personality.
