Anti-Perfectionism Mini-Unit - SEL advisory anxiety counseling Second Step

Teach students or colleagues about perfectionism! They'll learn signs you may be a perfectionist, the types of behaviors perfectionism may cause, and how to heal from perfectionism.

This Drive folder contains everything you need to familiarize an audience with perfectionism. Slides are ready-to-project and discussion questions are included for all materials. Hopefully this all makes your job as an educator easier!

I created these resources to use while teaching my creative writing students, some of whom were very judgmental of themselves while drafting. Teachers can also use this when teaching advisory to help students become more anxiety-literate. This can be used to supplement Second Step. This can also be used to teach SEL to any group of students, or as staff training or professional development.
