SEL and CEC WHY by Dawn https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0 Made with the best of intentions en-us 2017-08-09 16:01:53 UTC 2026-01-12 02:25:20 UTC hello@padlet.com Because developing students that have the competency to collaborate, empathize, listen, problem-solve, and have awareness of self are skills that are as important in life as other skills, and because many times when kids struggle in school, it's because there is an underlying social-emotional deficit that is interfering with their ability to learn. https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180625829 2017-08-10 15:44:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180625829 Because healthy kids behave in healthy ways and treat others with kindness and respect.

Mostly we've been talking with staff about staff actions in this effort. A good next step is to think about teaching students how to interact effectively with one another. The SEL focus will help with this. https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180626056 2017-08-10 15:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180626056 Because healthy culture is king in class and trust is queen https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180626140 2017-08-10 15:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180626140 Without safe classrooms there's no other learning taking place https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180626144 2017-08-10 15:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180626144 SEL https://padlet.com/dawn_christiana/kk0385w32z0/wish/180626180 Social emotional skills are second only to physical health & well-being to having a good quality of life.  Nothing is more important.
