| Social Emotional Learning (SEL)
What is it? Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which students acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. As a department and furthermore, as a school, we believe in the importance of SEL for all students. SEL takes place during classroom lectures, individual counseling, and building-wide initiatives. As a staff, we model the acquisition of critical thinking skills, effective communication, collaboration among staff and students as well as helping to mold responsible and productive citizens. It is our mission as a department to help students gain and further develop their Social Emotional Learning
