As part of our effort to expand support students' whole well-being, over the last two years CCSD has implemented a pilot and then expansion of our social and emotional learning screening for students. For the 24025 school year, all CCSD buildings across the district will participate. Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children gain and apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to deal effectively with daily tasks and challenges. The screener is designed to give us feedback regarding in which areas our students feel they need the most support, and guide supports directly to students as well.
CCSD supports students universally with development of the five core components of social and emotional learning outlined by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL).
Self-Awareness
Self-Management
Social Awareness
Relationship Skills
Responsible Decision Making (CASEL, 2017)
SEL takes place within the context of safe and supportive school, family, and community environments that aids children's development and provides opportunities and recognition for successfully applying these skills. This approach promotes intrapersonal, interpersonal, and cognitive competence.
