Social Emotional Learning Program

Learning Goal

This unit is “Learning From Each Other.” We will explore ways to learn from one another when we encounter problems or conflict with others. Conflict is a necessary part of life—it can even be positive and helpful. Conflict helps us realize that something needs to change; it can bring people closer together; and, it gives people the opportunity to share their feelings and thoughts with one another, letting us get to know others better. In this unit, we will learn different approaches to resolving interpersonal conflicts and a step-by-step problem-solving approach.
