Social Emotional Learning 

Classroom guidance is a key part of our comprehensive counseling program.  Students receive lessons according to the district Social Emotional Learning Framework, which combines Social Emotional Skills with the required Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills.

NISD BELIEFS for SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING

• We believe our families and communities provide the foundation for our students’ social and emotional health.

• We believe an ongoing partnership with students, families, schools, and communities is critical in fostering students’ social-emotional health and intellectual growth.

• We believe ALL school environments must simultaneously support the social, emotional, intellectual, and cultural needs of every student by fostering a climate where all students feel safe, valued, connected, and empowered.

• We believe, through ongoing support, training, and collective efficacy, staff must continuously model, encourage, and provide time and opportunities in all environments for social-emotional health and intellectual growth to be developed and nurtured in all students.
