Skills & Standards

---

This lesson bundle connects interpersonal communication skills to NHES-aligned health education by emphasizing crosscutting concepts (like patterns in communication and cause-and-effect in relationships) alongside disciplinary core ideas in health education—such as personal health skills, interpersonal skills, and decision-making for safer, healthier interactions. Activities build modeling opportunities (teacher- or student-led examples of respectful phrases and listening behaviors), then guide analytical reasoning through comparing response options and predicting consequences. Students also practice evidence-based explanations by citing which communication skill they used and why it supports productive conversations, including how refusal and conflict strategies can protect well-being.

Perfect For

---

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

---

Use this as a multi-day pacing plan: Day 1 for communication basics, Day 2 for active listening, Day 3 for refusal skills, and Day 4 for conflict resolution, with a short exit ticket at the end of each day. Consider pairing each worksheet with a brief role-play or discussion routine (think-pair-share, listening circles, or scenario cards), then have students complete one quick evidence-based explanation sentence using the worksheet prompts. For centers or intervention, provide a small-group script and a checklist that matches the worksheet steps, so students can practice before working independently.
