Counseling and SEL Sessions

The Knotted Tree is designed to support counseling and social-emotional learning conversations through metaphor and reflection rather than instruction. The open-ended narrative allows students to explore self-awareness, resilience, perspective, and meaning at their own pace, making it effective for individual work, small groups, or guided discussion within existing SEL frameworks.

Classroom and Student Groups

In the classroom, The Knotted Tree functions as a flexible text for read-alouds, independent reading, and discussion. Its simple structure allows teachers to adapt conversation depth and activities for upper elementary, middle school, and mixed-age groups while supporting literacy, reflection, and thoughtful dialogue without disrupting core lesson plans.
