Lifeskills Middle School Teachers' Website!

It's here! The start of a new school year, and for those of us working in the field of prevention education, we know that new beginnings are ripe with opportunity. In the Franklin/Quabbin area of western Massachusetts, we have the fantastic opportunity to restart Lifeskills at the middle school level. If you're like me, you're just getting started (actually, the first day of school is tomorrow for us), and if you're looking for guidance or fresh ideas for implementing Lifeskills, you've come to the right place!

Teachers of middle school Lifeskills, click on the link below to access the official Middle School Teachers' site for activities at levels 1, 2 and 3 to measure student comprehension of key concepts:

Click the link below to access the Level 1 LST Assessment Tool. It includes a list of assessment activities for each unit. Printable, easy to use, and provides insight as to how well students are "getting it."

These two pages offer a wealth of ideas for getting your middle school Lifeskills program off to a great start!

If you use these resources, I'd love to hear your feedback!

Yours in prevention,

Kate
