What does Social Emotional Learning (SEL) look like across K-12? How is SEL different in high school when compared to elementary school? These are questions I’ve been pondering for the past 9 months. Recently case studies on five secondary schools in urban areas found 6 common elements of SEL:
1. Web of structural supports
2. Intentional community
3. Culture of respect, participation, and reflection.
4. A commitment to restorative practices
5. Curriculum of Connection & Engagement
6. Focus on Developing Student Agency
