Communication Styles – Passive/Assertive/Aggressive
, Not Grade Specific,
Communication Styles introduces the idea that how people speak to one another matters. The lesson distinguishes passive, assertive, and aggressive approaches, then asks learners to represent all three styles in comics built around the same friendship scenario. Holding the situation constant makes differences in language, tone, boundaries, and likely outcomes easier to compare. The activity supports discussion of respectful self-expression without claiming that one isolated response defines a person’s character.

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.
