...so that you can continue to support your students social emotional learning needs. Why Teach & Practice Healthy Coping Skills?
Life can get really tough. So it's important to help young people -and ourselves, too- to cultivate tools and tricks that can support us to get through the hard stuff of living, to relate to uncomfortable feelings with self-compassion and to practice skills that can help us to feel calmer and more relaxed. This is where using healthy coping strategies come into play. Healthy coping skills will not get necessarily get rid of the challenging, stressful situations (especially those we don't have control over), but they can help us to make better, more empowering choices and move aside some of the confusion, chaos, blahs & crazies so that we can better see the silver lining, cup-is-half-full perspectives and possibilities. Moreover, using healthy coping strategies can help us build our strengths and resiliences and are a means to take good, kind-care of ourselves.

Leader In Me, offered by Franklin Covey Education, provides lesson-based and teaching practices approaches to SEL. It includes programming for grades K-6 and demonstrates evidence of effectiveness at grades K-5. Translated materials for Leader In Me are available in Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, Dutch, Japanese, German, Czech, Icelandic, Thai, Khmer, Vietnamese, Hungarian, and Mandarin.

Leader In Me offers strategies for working with bias and youth action projects. This includes training offerings that help educators grow their ability to identify and reduce bias in order to create equitable learning environments. Additionally, students are empowered to develop, initiate, and direct service-learning projects to address needs in their school and local communities.

Results from a quasi-experimental (QE) study conducted from 2009 to 2015 support (unpublished report written in 2018) the effectiveness of the Leader in Me curriculum for elementary students. The evaluation included students in grades K -5 (Hispanic/Latinx = 30%, Black/African American = 16%, students eligible for FRPL = 65%) from 154 schools in urban, suburban, and rural parts in a Southeastern state . The evaluation found a school-level reduction in conduct behaviors in schools participating in the Leader in Me program compared to control schools (outcomes reported as a cross section approximately 6 years after baseline while controlling for outcome pretest).

Growing Early Mindsets (GEM), offered by Mindset Works, provides a lesson-based approach to SEL with academic integration with literacy and science. It includes programming for grades PreK-3 and demonstrates evidence of effectiveness at grades K-3.

Results from a quasi-experimental (QE) evaluation conducted over 3 consecutive academic years from 2013-2016 (unpublished report written in 2020) supported the effectiveness of Growing Early Mindsets for early elementary school students. This evaluation included 554 kindergarten through grade 3 students in rural and urban schools in the US West region (of the students enrolled in the participating districts between 79-84% were white and 11-16% were Latino; between 43-58% were eligible for FRPL). This evaluation found that students participating in the Growing Early Mindsets program showed significantly greater growth in teacher-reported classroom self-regulation behaviors compared to students in the control group (outcomes reported approximately 18 weeks after baseline, while controlling for outcome pretest).

The Resolving Conflict Creatively Program (RCCP), offered by the Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsbility, provides a lesson-based approach to SEL. It inlcudes programming for grades preK-8 and demonstrates evidence of effectiveness in grades 1-6.

Evidence of effectiveness

Results from a quasi-experimental (QE) evaluation published in 2003 supported the effectiveness of Resolving Conflict Creatively for elementary school students. This evaluation included 11,160 grades 1 to 6 students enrolled in urban schools in the US Northeast (Latinx = 41%, Black = 40%, white = 14%; eligible for FRPL= 86%). This evaluation found that students who participated in the program self-reported reduced conduct problems, reduced depressive symptoms, and improved social and emotional skills (i.e., lower hostile attribution bias towards peers, higher levels of positive interpersonal negotiation strategy use) compared to students in the control group (outcome reported two years after outcome pretest). In addition, teachers reported increases in intervention students' prosocial behaviors and lower levels of aggressive behaviors

Building classroom community.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Developing a practice of sharing appreciations can help build community and shift your classroom climate. It's wonderful to hear someone say something as simple as "I appreciate you," and it can be even more impactful with a little time and practice to share something more specific.

The format can be kept simple, for example:

One thing I appreciate about you is ___________________.

OR

I appreciate that you __________________.

Have students pair up and write an appreciation for each other. Or, have each person pick a name at random* and write an appreciation for that person. Make sure that everyone receives an appreciation (yourself included!).

Give students time to think about what they want to say. Considering these questions might help them along in crafting an appreciation:

What is something that your classmate does to help the class or other students?

Why do you enjoy spending time with this person?

What is a good quality that they have?

These questions might lead to appreciations like:

One thing I appreciate about you is that you are kind.

I appreciate that you always have great ideas.

One thing I appreciate about you is that we have fun together during recess.

I appreciate that you ask good questions.

How-tos & strategies

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
As 2020 draws to a close, our students are being buffeted by, among other things, the pandemic, the contentious presidential election, and the ongoing racial reckoning we are experiencing.

Much of the conversation about this period has centered on the adverse impact on adults. Nearly 70 percent of adults have indicated that the presidential election is a significant source of stress and anger for them.

According to child psychologist Nicole Beurkens, children are also absorbing what's happening in the world around them. But they have less life experience and knowledge to draw from to help them interpret what they are seeing or hearing. They are aware that something is wrong, and that adults around them are experiencing strong emotions, but don't have much past experience to provide perspective or context.

During this historical moment, children are reminded every day of the uncertainty of the world around them, from the pandemic to the election. If they don't develop healthy responses and coping mechanisms, the anxiety they are experiencing today can have long-term adverse effects.

Strategies for Supporting our Young Ones in Hard Times

Below are some suggestions for how we as educators can support our elementary school students during these uncertain times.

Note: It is critical that we have differentiated approaches and developmentally appropriate responses for these young students. For PreK-2, provide students with a brief and simple summary of information with appropriate reassurance. Students grade 3-5, who often have questions and are more vocal, can use our support in separating what is reality from what isn't reality. We have a limited capacity to shelter these students from the sometimes upsetting reality of this historical moment.

Set the tone. Set a supportive tone in your classroom by discussing and deciding on community agreements for the class to ensure that everyone feels safe and belongs.

Self-care. Being intentional around your own self-care practices can help ease the minds of your students. It will allow you to model these practices for your students while helping you to stay steady and calm.

Help students manage uncertainty. This is the most unsettling time in recent history. As educators, we can guide students in learning self-care practices that can help them manage the multiple sources of uncertainty.

Recognize that each student is an individual and has different social and emotional needs. Create opportunities for learning more about students' particular strengths and needs, and then work to address them.

Encourage curiosity and invite sharing. Build time into the schedule to ask what questions your students have and allow them to talk through their feelings. Have an open discussion about things that your students have heard and seen. Listen to them and answer questions that they have. The intention is to ensure that students feel seen and heard. When students verbalize what they are feeling, it promotes cognitive integration, connecting the emotions and logic together, which creates more balance and can have a calming effect.

Reinforce and reassure. Reassure students that no matter what they hear or see, they are safe in school and that they are around people who care about them. Students need to know that school and the relationships that they have with others is a source of security and safety. Rather than reassuring students that everything will be all right, reinforce for students that we will work together to handle whatever may happen. Try to focus on the positive, while being honest. Often educators who want to ease students' concerns tell students, "everything is going to okay" - which isn't necessarily true and can consequently break students' trust in us.

Create consistent routines for students, especially now, when their routines have been profoundly disrupted by the pandemic. This gives students a sense of control, predictability, and calm, which can help them to feel safe during these uncertain times.

Share information at a level that is appropriate for your students. But remember that they don't need unnecessary facts. Be honest and accurate, because students often imagine situations that are worse than reality, and age-appropriate facts can reduce fear. It is inevitable and normal that our students will feel a spectrum of emotions and it is our responsibility as educators to listen to them, affirm their emotions, and support them in developing strategies to cope with those emotions-especially in times like these.

Spread love. This has been a year of tremendous adversity, and our students have been profoundly impacted. It's our responsibility to help students navigate this moment. Have a pedagogy that is rooted in love. Show your genuine and heartfelt concern for your students by supporting their social and emotional development during these uncertain times Practice active listening with them, give them your undivided attention, show your appreciation for them, laugh with them, but also have defined boundaries.

SEL & Self-Care Practices

Here are some social and emotional learning strategies and self-care practices that may be helpful for your students these during uncertain times.

Listening circle or listening space. A listening circle (or a listening space, if your class is remote) is an opportunity for students to say what they are thinking and feeling. It allows time for each student to speak and to listen without being interrupted. It is not a time for discussion or dialogue, or for responding to what other people say. Rather, each student is invited to speak in response to a question or prompt. When a person is speaking, the others in the group should listen only and not interrupt. The intention is not to listen to reply, but to listen to understand, which is a rarity during contentious times like these. Tell students that each person will have a minute to share their thoughts and feelings - or to pass. When one person is speaking, the others in the group should pay close attention but not comment. The listening circle or space is over after every person has had at least one chance to speak. If you are facilitating this activity online, you might want to post the order of who will go first, second, and so on in the chat box.

Listen to calming music. To soothe students, and to encourage their own self-care, play calming music throughout the day. This can be an effective tool for reducing stress and has other positive visceral effects. Some music can be used as a form of meditation and can inspire the mind to slow down. Alternatively, play some upbeat or positive music that can improve students' mood. Be ready with a collection of songs that might be relevant for your students.

Mindfulness release. Facilitate a guided meditation with your students to help them stay present with challenging feelings without analyzing or suppressing them. Meditation is an effective tool for reducing stress and anxiety. For a guided meditation that focuses on the body: Have students sit down in a comfortable chair. Ask them to close their eyes if they feel comfortable doing that. Then ask them to release the tension in their shoulders and unclench their jaw. Have them scan their body and notice where they feel tension. Ask them to release the tension on each exhale.

Release journaling. To let go of all of things that are going on in students' minds (around Covid, the election, or anything else), ask students to journal about whatever they've been thinking about. Be sure to mention that this journal is for them only. The contents won't be shared.

Creative expression. Use art as a form of creative expression to help students release complicated emotions around what is happening in the world. Ask students to draw a picture of how they are feeling. This can be an alternative way for students to express their emotions, especially if they are introverted or appreciate artistic expression.

Dance and creative movement. Guiding students in moving their bodies in creative ways can release tension, improve sensory awareness, and increase mental focus.

SEL Journal

(PDF)

Journaling is a terrific way to express emotions in a safe way, and many students may journal at school to develop writing skills. But what if we helped them express their feelings in a space that's their own?

Social Emotional Memo for Teachers

(PDF)

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Use these social skills task cards to discuss real social situations. They teach conversation skills, empathy, friendships, dealing with conflicts, and basic interactions. Some of the cards also ask the students to "act it out" by role playing certain situations. Each set of cards has a specific focus so that you can use the cards with your students to highlight specific skills at a time. Of course, you can always mix the cards to incorporate all skills at once, if appropriate for your students. They can be used for a variety of age/grade groups from elementary to middle school to improve social skills and behavior.
Digital Version
UPDATE: I have added a digital version for Google Slides, allowing your students to review the task cards and type their responses. Please see the digital directions.

* Blue: The blue cards all focus on basic interaction skills, including eye contact, greeting others positively, maintaining personal space, and politeness.

* Green: The green cards focus on conversation skills, including taking turns, listening and showing interest in others, staying on topic, and noticing others' social cues in conversations.

* Yellow: The yellow cards focus on empathy, which includes noticing the feelings of others, being sensitive to others, considering the perspectives of others, and identifying others' points of view even when you don't agree.

* Red: The red cards focus on friendships, which includes thoughtfulness, how to be close but allow for space, and letting others make decisions in the friendship at times.

* Purple: The purple cards focus on dealing with conflicts, including how to negotiate and problem-solve.
