About This Lesson
Hi! I'm Afiya Anees, and I am a junior in high school. I have noticed, growing up in America's education system, that mental health and social-emotional learning were like a foreign concept in elementary schools. Schools would briefly mention it; however, the weight that mental health has in our lives deserves much more than a yearly 5--minute lesson! That's why I created a weekly five-minute psychology curriculum to make sure kids stay informed on mental health while also giving notice to the vast other subjects teachers have to teach. My weekly lesson plans will promote social-emotional learning while also giving students an introduction to psychology from a teenager's perspective!
