MISSION STATEMENT of SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) at EC
The goal of SEL at EC is to develop an awareness of self as part of a community. Through the use of the CASEL competencies, students will understand that their choices impact others. The program works to help develop a sense of self and understanding that each student has their own set of needs and strengths.
Components of the EC SEL Approach:
Expectations established for school-wide implimentation
School wide behavioral reward systems to encourage positive behavior
Interventions based on data to support students in need
Classroom meetings to promote community building
SEL committee to discuss trends, needs and opportunities for growth of SEL
SEL resources shared with staff based on CASEL competencies
Social skills instruction, mental health clinician, and guidance support available for students in need
SEL mentor-staff members who are available to mentor teachers who may need ideas of how to implement SEL into their classroom virtually and in person.
Incorporate SEL for staff into professional development.
