Social Emotional Learning

Advisory

Students do best when their social-emotional needs are met and they feel connected to not only their peers but to the adults in the school environment. Therefore, Advisory at ISU is designed to facilitate and build relationships amongst students, teachers, and the community. Our objective is to help students understand who they are, who they want to be and to give them the tools and opportunities to get there. The advisory class should become ‘a home base’ at school and will include but are not limited to:


  • Check-in and reminders

  • Provide a positive start to the day

  • Support intellectual & social emotional growth

  • Encourage character building

  • Promote community connection and responsibility


Advisory/Academic Support

  • Provide opportunities for Social Emotional Learning with smaller groups of students

Service as Action/ CAS

  • Provide opportunities for students to meet in groups to collaborate on actions that will raise awareness of relevant local or global issues and concerns

Assemblies

  • Provide opportunities for students to meet with each other by class or as a whole school in assemblies, and forums

Activities

  • Provide opportunities for students to self-manage and engage with experiences and skills, which can be supported at this time (WWW, PP, EE, CAS,etc. )
