The next Social Emotional Learning focus for the month of April is “Relationship Skills”. Teachers and administration are supporting our students to develop the necessary skills in order to participate and engage in healthy relationships. This is defined as “the ability to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships with diverse individuals and groups. The ability to communicate clearly, listen well, cooperate with others, resist inappropriate social pressure, negotiate conflict constructively, and seek and offer help when needed”. In order to support students in their individual growth in this area, we will focus on the skills of communication, social engagement, relationship-building, and teamwork.
