Social Emotional Learning for Tuesday June 9, 2020

Social Engagement means the ability to consider others and a desire to contribute to the well-being of a social group, or community. The foundation of social engagement is empathy. That's the ability to share in the feelings of others from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and situations. We are in a time of great social engagement. Today we are working on helping build that language for students to lend their voice as they feel necessary. Join us!

Social Emotional Learning for Monday June 8, 2020

Social Engagement is a very important aspect of Social Emotional Learning. If you look around our city, region, nation you will see many great displays of these skills. This week we are learning about social engagement and the Constitution of the United States and the first amendment to that constitution. Plus, we'll hear from folks out on the streets exercising both these skills and the rights guaranteed to us all. Join us.

Special thanks to Ariadna Aguirre de Alvarado for her time, energy, and talent, interpreting, translating, and recording.

Social Emotional Learning for Friday June 5, 2020.

Of the many aspects of bullying that are hurtful the time it can last may be the worst. Day in and day out.

Today we look at the aspect of bullying behavior that is ongoing. We will look at many examples in our society with particular focus on the behavior choices made by Derrick Chauvin. We are using the language of bullying because it is the language of schools. It is also a way to help students find ways to join in the current social conversations happening around dinner tables and public spaces.

Social Emotional Learning for Thursday June 4, 2020

We continue focusing on bullying today by learning about power. This can be complicated, but fortunately for learning we have many of examples of when choices about how to use power go bad. Unfortunately, this often produces difficult emotion information for those involved. Fortunately for us, we're learning about power and how to interact with all types of emotion information.

In particular today we focus on aspects of physical bullying, including intimidation. For context we are using specific behavior choices made by Amy Cooper, Gregory and Travis McMichael, and President Trump. We also begin to practice healing. Join us for this important moment of SEL.

Social Emotional Learning for Tuesday June 2, 2020.

Talking with kids about what has been happening can be both important and difficult. Today we continue our conversation using our SEL lens to focus on bullying. Bullying is something we talk about in school. It has both familiar language and familiar experience for students and adults. Today we are talking about unwanted attention and some of the ways unwanted attention can manifest as verbal bullying. We reference factual behaviors from President Donald Trump, Gregory and Travis McMichael and Mr. Manzo.
