MODULE 2

Social Awareness and Relationship Skills

social awareness: the ability to understand how others are feeling, respond to their emotions, and form strong relationships

This module focuses on social awareness—the set of skills involved in helping students know themselves better, understand others, and build their skills in how to interact with peers and adults effectively. It’s important that students realize and reflect on the fact that human beings are, by nature, social animals. We react to others, and we need to be with others. And to interact with others well, we need to be able to manage our strong feelings, communicate effectively, read others’ cues accurately, and empathize with others—in good times and in not-so-good times. These are important skills in all areas of life, and middle school is certainly no exception. Your students spend most of every school day interacting with other people. So how each day goes will depend significantly on how well they get along with others, both peers and adults. The lessons in this module will help students strengthen the important skills they need to have better social awareness and stronger relationships.

The five skills surveyed in the lessons that follow are:

Skill 6: Anticipating and Defusing Trigger Situations

Skill 7: Assertive Communication

Skill 8: Reading the Social and Emotional Cues of Others

Skill 9: Playing Our Many Social Roles

Skill 10: Empathy
