Classroom Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
The 7 Mindsets SEL curriculum is a whole-school focused curriculum. All students 4K-12 will be learning this curriculum. There will be one lesson per week, each lesson contains a developmentally appropriate ice breaker, video, discussion and activity. The 7 Mindsets are as follows:
#1: Everything is Possible
#2: Passion First
#3: We Are Connected
#4: 100% Accountable
#5: Attitude of Gratitude
#6: Live to Give
#7: The Time is Now
This curriculum targets ten SEL competencies for students. This includes self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, decision-making, resilience, growth mindset, empathy, cultural competence and hope. We believe that our students and our staff will benefit greatly from this curriculum. Please watch this short video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sOzgIaWaU0
At the elementary level (K-4) I also go into classrooms once a month to do guidance lessons on other topics such as making new friends, kindness, bullying and more. In grades 5-8, 9-12, I do lessons on stress, decision making, addiction, careers, assertiveness, and more.
