The Connections curriculum is broken into 12 lessons. All but the final lesson include video clips. In addition to the lessons, you will read I Thought It Was Just Me, But It Isn't. Below you will find a reading list and videos associated with the worksheets or lessons of Connections.

Before each of our scheduled sessions,
Read the assigned reading of I Thought It Was Just Me, But It Isn't associated with your current lesson.
Watch the associated video with your current lesson.
Complete the worksheet to the best of your ability.
Make note of questions and reflections you'd like to share.
Some readings cover 2-4 lessons, so follow your reading guide closely. I recommend taking notes while watching the videos and highlighting passages that stand out to you in the book. These efforts will help you get the most out of the worksheets.
Our sessions will be built around expanding upon and processing the lessons over a 10 week period. Some sessions will be combined in order to complete the workshop within 10 weeks.
