All 6th graders within the district participate in a Social Emotional Learning program entitled Power of You (POY) provided by two Ventura County SELPA Social Emotional Services Specialists. POY is both a Tier 1 and Tier 2 SEL support/intervention. This is a character education and social-emotional support program for our 6th grade students funded through the Mental Health Services Act grant. The program has two phases including 4 classroom lessons for all MUSD 6th grade students (Tier 1) and then small group sessions for those students identified by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire as needing more support (Tier 2). Topics include respecting self and others, empathy, understanding feelings, coping skills and healthy problem solving. Ventura County SELPA clinicians will be leading the lessons and sessions while building the capacity of our MUSD staff to sustain this program beyond the 3-year grant.
