Welcome to the SEL Department
-
The Social and Emotional Learning department coordinates the implementation and growth of culturally responsive and emotionally safe learning environments. We have resources to help students develop skills to manage their emotions, form positive relationships, feel empathy for others, and make responsible decisions. SEL programming is based on the understanding that the best learning emerges in the context of supportive relationships that make learning challenging, engaging, and meaningful.
