Six units. 120 lessons. A complete social-emotional learning curriculum for secondary students that actually treats them as capable of thinking. The Brain Bar SEL Curriculum is a full-year, research-grounded SEL program for grades 6–12. Each unit builds on the last: students who complete this curriculum move from self-awareness through emotion regulation, decision-making, conflict navigation, goal-setting, and finally to intentional digital citizenship — a complete arc of self-knowledge applied

Your students have heard about growth mindset so many times that the phrase has stopped meaning anything. This unit earns it back.Goal-Setting & Growth Mindset is Unit 5 in the Brain Bar SEL Curriculum. It comes fifth intentionally — because goal-setting without self-awareness, emotional regulation, and decision-making skills is just wishful thinking. This unit goes well beyond the SMART goals framework students have seen repeatedly. It examines why goals fail (it’s almost never motivation), how

Conflict isn’t the enemy of relationships. Avoidance is. This unit teaches students the difference. Conflict Resolution & Relationships is Unit 4 in the Brain Bar SEL Curriculum. It applies skills from Units 1–3 directly to where students face the most day-to-day difficulty: their relationships with other people. This unit doesn’t treat conflict as a problem to eliminate — it treats it as a natural feature of meaningful connection that needs to be navigated skillfully. Week 4 goes further than

Most students aren’t making bad decisions because they’re bad people. They’re making bad decisions because nobody taught them how decisions actually work. Decision-Making & Consequences is Unit 3 in the Brain Bar SEL Curriculum. It builds directly on Units 1 and 2 — students who know themselves and can regulate their emotions are now ready to examine how they make choices. This unit doesn’t moralize. It doesn’t tell students what to decide. It equips them with frameworks, honest self-examinatio

Your students aren’t failing to regulate because they don’t care. They’re failing because nobody taught them how. Emotion Regulation is Unit 2 in the Brain Bar SEL Curriculum — and the most searched SEL topic on TpT for good reason. This unit goes beyond coping strategy lists. Students learn the actual neuroscience of emotional response, build a personalized regulation toolkit, understand how emotions move through relationships, and develop the resilience to sustain regulation over time.

Experience

I have 20 years of experience teaching English in grades 6–12, including 7 years of gifted middle school ELA, AP Language, AP Literature, and Cambridge AICE English Language (AS Level). I created Brain Bar to publish the kind of classroom-ready resources I actually use with my own students; materials that are rigorous, well-designed, and built around real instructional goals.

Teaching style

I believe students learn best when they feel challenged and supported at the same time. My resources reflect that: they're structured enough to guide students through complex skills, but open enough to spark genuine thinking and discussion. Whether it's a passage-based worksheet, a lesson PowerPoint, or a review game, everything I create is designed to be both teacher-friendly and student-engaging.
