About No Judging Allowed
Our Unique Approach
No Judging Allowed is a story-based SEL program for middle and high school students. I write original short stories based on real challenges; identity, pressure, honesty, belonging, bias, choice, consequence.
Students read. Then we talk, guided by SEL and CASEL competencies with activities designed to reinforce the multiple themes in every story.
- Middle school stories focus on friendship, peer pressure, and belonging.
- High school stories go deeper: independence, systemic pressure, future choices, and the weight of expectations.
No worksheets. No videos. Five sessions. Real conversation. No judgment.
The only rule is in the name.
Honesty isn't always pretty but it's always pretty necessary
