3 Why Social Emotional Learning Matters Learning environments that focus on social emotional needs result in students who perform better academically are more likely to attend school have significantly lower rates of emotional distress, violence, delinquency, substance abuse, and sexual activity Making the Case for the Educating the Whole Child ASCD
4
5 Why Social Emotional Learning Matters Here s the thing: whether or not we set out to provide social-emotional literacy education, we are providing one. Whether by fiat or accident, our children are learning about self-awareness, empathy, and the navigation of conflict from watching the adults and older children around them, and they are navigating the unwritten rules of the hallways and playground. Humans are social animals, built to survive in the setting into which they have been thrust, and they will learn what they need to get by, even if what they learn is maladaptive. With brains that operate in complex and interwoven ways, it is not possible for teachers to teach only math or reading. When we teach our children, we teach the whole child the intellectual being, the emotional being, the social being even if we do not intend to do so.
6 Why Social Emotional Learning is Lacking in the Classroom Not emphasized (district or campus) Feelings of inadequacy Varying beliefs of who s job it is Lack of preparation and focus in college programs STAAR/EOC Mindset that academic learning and social/emotional learning are disconnected vs interconnected WHAT IS THE COMMON THEME? MINDSET!
7 SO AS THE SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL LEARNING EXPERTS ON CAMPUS, HOW DO WE CHANGE MINDSET?
8 1.MINIMAL TIME REQUIRED 2.MINIMAL EFFORT REQUIRED 3.POSITIVE PEER PRESSURE 4. FOLLOW UP/DATA THE GOAL IS TO GET THE SMALL INTERVENTIONS WE DO EVERY DAY INTO THE HANDS OF ALL TEACHERS AND GET THEM TO A POINT WHERE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE CONSISTENTLY IMPLEMENTING THEM IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. THROUGH THIS WE DRASTICALLY INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF COUNSELING GOING ON EVERY DAY THEREFORE REACHING MORE AND MORE STUDENTS AND SPARKING A SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL LEARNING REVOLUTION!

CASEL s mission is to make social and emotional learning an integral part of education from preschool through high school. To learn more about the five key competencies, visit the "What is SEL? Skills and Competencies" page(11) from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL)

Preset a color wheel or continuum for the classroom to be used in challenging situations. 2. Have students identify through colors what they might be feeling during a difficult time or day. 3. Ask them to identify a few strategies they can do to move themselves from that color to the designated happy color. 4.
