CEL is a great way for kids to find their purpose. Presenting options to kids they can relate to and dream about. Also the use of Xello.

We help kids find their purpose by providing self- disclosure of real-life and kids can relate to one another in community meetings, SEL, etc.

We offer school clubs to students to find some things they are interested in including art club, running club, science olympiad, social studies olympiad, safety, service squad, and student council, etc.

In class we continue to offer different choices to ensure they have the opportunity to select an option that supports their interests. During lessons we try to connect to the world around them as well.

I try to make everything or most things circle back to their lives to make a connection. I feel like students will perform better if they understand the purpose, which then gives them purpose. Relationships are also important!

I work with students to promote coping skills, emotional regulation, feelings communications, and provide them a safe space to speak about how they feel at school and at home. I also provide mental health resources for students and direct services to support their socio-emotional/behavioral skills.

Helping them understand their learning style and how to learn in a way that works for them. Not everyone learns best on an ipad and so there should be choice given. Often times because of district expectations, students are expected to learn on ipads or digitally.
