There are many behaviors that high school students are expected to exhibit. Students need to be aware of these implicit expectations in order to make good choices, develop healthy relationships and to become increasingly independent. When teens are unaware of social taboos or have difficulty regulating their emotions, they can unknowingly exhibit off-putting behaviors that can lead to isolation. This social rejection can have damaging consequences.

 

High School Life: Unspoken Expectations helps teens acquire knowledge about the social and self-regulation skills needed to gain more control over their lives. This knowledge assists them in becoming less dependent on adults.

 

The DVD provides strategic instruction that teens can use to perceive and respond to social situations more accurately. Each lesson highlights a specific unspoken expectation, and models how and why it is important to exhibit that particular behavior. The DVD uses “Insight Windows” to help teens understand the importance of becoming more aware and concerned about the feelings, moods, and viewpoints of others.

 

This video modeling DVD follows a teen named Jon as he learns to navigate high school by becoming more aware of the unspoken rules his teachers and peers expect him to know. Also included are actual high school peer mentors who offer advice on how to solve teen problems. “Springboard to discussion” questions explore each topic further to help students to better understand and improve social exchanges.
