Social and Emotional Learning

  • Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) reflects the critical role of positive relationships and emotional connections in the learning process and helps students develop a range of skills they need for school and life. SEL skills include the ability to:

    • Set and achieve positive goals
    • Feel and show empathy for others
    • Establish and maintain positive relationships
    • Make responsible decisions
    • Understand and manage emotions

  • MTSS-B Tier 2 Small Group Interventions align with the five SEL CASEL Competencies: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Responsible Decision-Making, Relationship Skills, and Social Awareness. Small Groups are based on CASEL curriculum and meet once a week for approximately 6-8 weeks. 

    Group Interventions aim to support students in:

    • Becoming aware of feelings and emotions
    • Developing positive coping strategies
    • Deepening understanding of school-wide expectations
    • Building positive relationships with others
