Social Emotional Learning

What is SEL?

Social emotional learning is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.CASEL

As this quarter comes to an end, we as a unified staff are creating ways to incorporate SEL skills for our staff and students to address inequity and empower students and you to show our students they can thrive within their school, their community and family.

• Self-Management: Managing emotions and behaviors to achieve one's goals

• Self-Awareness: Recognizing one's emotions and values as well as one's strengths and challenges

• Responsible Decision-Making: Making ethical, constructive choices about personal and social behavior

• Relationship Skills: Forming positive relationship, working in teams, dealing effectively with conflict

• Social Awareness: Showing understanding and empathy for others

SEL Practices Changing Us One Step at a Time

Check out these practices that you can do in your household! We encourage our students to have check-ins with themselves in order for them to be aware of how they feel, but also be a productive student. These are some examples that are also used in our classrooms. SEL practices can be used everyday, everywhere and anytime! Let's start to create the best versions of ourselves.
