Session Summary
This session highlights an innovative collaboration between school counselors and ELA teachers, combining literature circles with high-interest, low-readability texts to foster both interpersonal and intrapersonal learning. By reflecting on personal connections to characters, students develop problem-solving skills and relate the literature to their own middle school experiences. This partnership promotes emotional growth and critical thinking, creating a supportive, engaging environment for students to thrive academically and emotionally.
