This link explains how SEL provides students a more well-rounded education that takes them beyond academics and into learning skills that can help them throughout life. This is a great resource for teachers and coaches who want to provide the best for their students, combining SEL and physical education can help them achieve that goal.

Restorative circles are especially effective in developing relationship skills within the classroom and increasing our students' self-awareness and self-management, and the topics within this list are specifically geared toward these SEL components. The topics within this list are not only for use with students, but there are also questions and topics designed for parents and teachers too. The section labeled, "Responding to Issues," specifically addresses emotionally and socially challenging instances that may occur in the school environment (and life in general), and is an excellent tool for exploring and increasing students' self-management skills.

One of the assignments is to analyze the characters behaviors and create an action plan to help her. This assignment is done in groups once they have analyzed the characters behaviors. The actions plan includes:
Step 1: Create the Framework
Step 2: Evaluate Organizations 
Step 3: Create a Cohesive Action Plan
This lesson will get students comfortable discussing emotions and how to respond to their own emotions in a collaborative setting.

One of the superintendents at my school spoke at convocation about the phrase "q-tip" or "quit taking it personal". I think this is a great reminder for teachers to remember that when our students behave unexpectedly, we cannot take it personal. If we do, it creates a huge burden on our shoulders and can create stress and anxiety in the workplace. So this is a great SEL tip for all educators to "q-tip"!]]> 2022-10-18 23:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2346030026 Alice Pancir https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2347350063 https://www.edugoodies.com/sel
Edugoodies is a resource site created by Shelby County School. It has exceptional English and Spanish resources to promote self management. The information is clear and parent friendly (not overwhelming for working parents and teachers). I look forward to printing some of these PDFs and sharing them with some of my parents during our November Parent Teacher Conferences. There is a fun family BINGO game to promote self care and a guide to EASY at home stress relieving crafts.]]> 2022-10-19 16:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2347350063 D. Holz holzd https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2348043506 I was researching SEL for high school teachers/students.

Each topic includes a Daniel Tiger Video, a catchy strategy song, a classroom activity, and a family letter to build a home-school connection available in both English and Spanish. Through these activities student will have a model of how to deal with emotions, for example, and develop social emotional skills such as self-control. Although I have not used this in the classroom myself, I plan to do so. ]]> 2022-10-21 00:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2349873453 Kelly Rambo https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2349906387 Read alouds are a great way to incorporate SEL strategies to our students. I love to use them to spark discussions and allow students to make connections to different situations. I think it is so important for students to realize there are different emotions and ways to work through how we are feeling. Books will also provide students with strategies and tools they need to successfully problem-solve on different situations. ]]> 2022-10-21 00:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2349906387 Jill Brandel https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2351011070 Restorative Circles are something new that my district began implementing last year. This is a great beginners guide for how to implement and conduct them within your school or classroom. Restorative circles truly foster a stronger classroom community, ultimately helping the members to feel more connected and understood. Over time, members gain a deeper trust in one another, and are able to take more risks in the classroom. ]]> 2022-10-21 16:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2351011070 Ryan Fox rfox64 https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2624639473 This is a good source for teachers looking to learn more about SEL]]> 2023-06-15 14:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2624639473 Alyssa Acierno https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2626679408 I personally love Edutopia!!

The program runs during home base and is comprised of activities that address' SEL pillars of character education. 

In addition to the home base roll out of the Choose Kind Program, activities across the curriculum happen throughout the school year. One special activity allows students and teachers, nominated for recognized acts of kindness, to enjoy a  bi-monthly breakfast celebration with the principal.

There are lots of activities that teachers can use with students to help promote mindfulness. One school I work with has students do brain break exercises after lunch every day to center the students. Once students learn the routines, they actually have students leads the activities rather than the teachers. Some of the students' favorites are "Energy Ball" and "Body Tapping". The schools I work with are middle schools. I would've thought that middle schoolers felt "too cool" to do some of these activities, but once the practice is put in place, the students really own the practice and looking forward to doing and leading them.

One of my favorite parts of my classroom is my calm down corner. I don't have a lot of space or a complicated/fancy set up but it really does help those students who have a hard time dealing with their emotions and frustrations. It took me a long time to realize that it did not have to be Pinterest perfect for it to be useful to my students.]]> 2023-06-26 21:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2632789911 Francine Ferber https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2633441993 This link is an example of a Mood Meter. The mood meter is a tool to help students regulate their emotions.  It allows the students to recognize & label, understand, express and regulate emotions. Its a great check in in the morning and throughout the day; it allows students to help regulate feelings and understand and express their feelings and behaviors.

 What is Social-Emotional Learning? - SEL Curriculum (empoweringeducation.org) ]]> 2023-06-28 15:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2634437742 Monica Mejia mmejia134 https://padlet.com/jessicaryan2/SEL/wish/2634577919 I can incorporate SEL in my middle school social studies class by fostering a positive and inclusive classroom environment where students feel safe, respected, and valued. I can help students develop self-awareness by encouraging reflection on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and by incorporating activities such as journaling, self-assessments, and mindfulness exercises to promote self-reflection and emotional understanding. I also like the idea of using historical events to illustrate responsible decision-making. Kids can analyze historical figures and scenarios, discussing the choices made and their consequences. Teachers can encourage students to reflect on what they would have done differently and consider the ethical implications.  I also think role playing and simulations can teach responsible decision-making. We can present students with dilemmas related to historical events and ask them to think critically, consider different perspectives, and make informed choices. - Monica Mejia

Rethink lesson are created based on SEL standards for the grade levels and each lesson has 3 components: lesson/ video, dive deeper, and individual practice. These lessons can be done whole group or pushed out individually to students through platforms like seesaw or clever. Second grade lessons examples are: "feelings detectives", "no one is you-er than you", and "spot our family values".
