FINAL REVIEW:
In Focus Advisory Lessons
Bountiful High School has requested to use Academic Well-Being Material in the lessons in their Directed Studies Student Success class (the other half of driver's ed). They may also consider implementing some of the Connection and Conditions, Physical Well-being, and Social Well-being modules into their health classes. Schools may desire to use this during Advisory time. Teachers would present lessons. The lessons are already prepared and are easy for teachers to implement. We will provide guidance to any school that uses this or any other well-being curriculum to ensure they are staying within the law regarding any written surveys that include social-emotional learning questions.
