College Ready

An 8-lesson social skills curriculum tailored for teens and young adults, focusing on building peer relationships, establishing boundaries, and exchanging social contact information safely. Each lesson includes a clinical lesson plan modeled after The COR Behavioral Group standard and an accompanying interactive student or clinical resource.

Clients will demonstrate the 3 steps of exchanging contact information (reading social readiness cues, using a low-pressure invitation phrase, and respecting boundaries if the answer is hesitant) in 3 pair role-play interactions.

Low-pressure contact exchange fill-in-the-blank script worksheet and peer feedback reflection sheet for Lesson 7 (Exchanging Numbers and Socials).

A five-day comprehensive sequence on interpersonal communication in modern digital and professional contexts, from active listening to email, Slack, and professional social media.

Clients will evaluate 5 social situations to identify appropriate vs. inappropriate timing for asking a peer for their contact information or social media handle, and practice delivering the request using an indirect, low-pressure script.

Printable role-play scenario cards for Lesson 1 (Making the First Move) with detailed cues, environmental anchors, and step-by-step peer prompts.

A three-part therapeutic social-emotional learning sequence designed to guide students from self-empathy to active validation and diverse perspective-taking through the metaphor of mapmaking and exploration.

Clients will identify the key behavioral milestones (e.g., consistent positive interactions, shared trust, mutual effort) that signal when a social connection shifts from an acquaintance to a true friend across 4 guided case studies.

Lesson plan for Lesson 8 (Exchanging Contact Safely) following the clinical format of The COR Behavioral Group, focusing on reading readiness cues, low-pressure invitation scripts, and respecting hesitancy.

Clients will categorize 8 social scenarios to differentiate between the traits of an acquaintance (e.g., someone you say hi to in the hallway) and a friend (e.g., someone you hang out with outside of school) with 85% accuracy on a visual sorting task.
