COMPASS uses collaborative game-based learning to teach youth research-backed strategies to manage worries, solve problems, build relationships, and face stressful situations with confidence. This six-lesson plan has shown to improve emotion dysregulation, grades and test scores, social skills, confidence, and reduce out-of-classroom time (e.g., absences, nurse visits), instructional remediation, and in-class meltdowns.

Match It! Game Cards to print, cut out, and play at home. Characters (top row) and Feeling Words (bottom row). This game reinforces what students have learned about the ways anxiety, worry, or fear show itself. It can be completed individually or as a group.

Situation or worry requires students to develop an action thought (S.W.A.P.) for a variety of sample scenarios provided.

An important aspect of social skills training is assertiveness training. Assertiveness includes speaking up for yourself, for a peer, establishing eye contact, framing something in a non-confrontational way, in a safe and respectful manner. [1:34]

This game offers students Grades 3-5 a chance to read and discuss different situations and consider how they would handle each using the practice using S.A.F.E. to be assertive. Play online within PBS LearningMedia or select the download option to play without internet at your site.

A video lesson which introduces students to energy metabolism through the lens of ATP as the primary molecular unit of currency for the cell.

Contains plans for at least seven 20- to 30-minute sessions about alphabet books. In addition to student objectives and standards, these instructional plans contains links to PDF handouts and links to sites used in the lessons as well as assessment and reflection activities.

Students increase their understanding of alphabet books by participating in a variety of reading and writing activities.
