Description : Social Work 1500 students meet weekly to support the planning, facilitating, marketing, research/surveys, and modalities to engage families for resource nights at Nelson Mandela Elementary School. UNO students engage the scholars (children) in social skills groups, activities for executive functioning, as well as STEM-focused after-school programming. Activities include planning the event for Family Resource night and a creating resource-building opportunity for community engagement. This may involve topics for Stress Awareness Month (in April) and could possibly consist of creating a paper resource and a presentation for parents or staff. Students will also be able to interact with Nelson Mandela scholars during other engagement opportunities, including the “Be Ready” and Social Skills groups in the mornings and the Kids Can after-school program. “Be Ready” is held from 7:00 – 8:00 am and focuses on learning executive functioning skills such as mindfulness, memory, and self-control. The social skills classes taught by Mr. Joe Ogba are from 8:10 – 8:30 am. The interactions and expectations for the social skills course will be discussed with Mr. Ogba during the orientation meeting. The after-school program (with Kids Can) focuses on STEM subjects and is held from 3:30 – 6:00 pm. There is also opportunity for students to work with scholars on social skills during the lunch hour.
