, Not Grade Specific,

The reading develops responsibility through several everyday examples rather than a single rule. Learners answer a mix of closed questions about the passage and an open prompt asking how they can demonstrate the trait in their own lives. This design checks understanding while transferring the idea to personal decision-making. A third page provides completed responses for the text-based questions, while the personal reflection appropriately remains open to individual answers.

Three purposes for rules open the page: treating people fairly, caring for the environment, and caring for ourselves. Four picture sections then provide separate spaces for naming the rule being broken and describing a consequence that might follow. The open-response structure permits discussion of more than punishment, including natural, logical, and restorative outcomes. Because the images carry the specific situations, no unsupported scenario details are added to the copy.

Self-Referral Forms For School Social Workers And School Counselors
, Not Grade Specific,

Four self-referral chat slips and twelve hall passes let students request time with a school counselor or social worker without needing to explain the reason out loud. Two slip designs, Counselor Chat and Speak With the Social Worker, ask a student to write their name, date, and teacher, check one topic among family, friends, school, other kids, their own actions, or feelings, and rate the size of their problem. A page of six hall passes reads I Need To See The Social Worker, and a matching page reads I Need To See The Counselor, so the wording can match whichever staff member a student is sent to see.
