Character education and promoting socio-emotional growth in our students is a part of every class we teach!
Character Building
Character development is an important part of our classroom community. We cultivate a positive classroom space by building good character traits such as respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and perseverance. Throughout the semester we practice these regularly through the activities and learning we participate in during class.
Social Emotional Learning (S.E.L.)
Social emotional learning is the process in which we learn and apply skills related to attitudes and behavior. This includes thoughts, feelings, and actions. In our classes we work on social emotional learning through concepts such as self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, social awareness, and relationship skills. These may be direct lessons (ex: personal vs general space) or indirect lessons as we collaborate in class.
