Social Emotional Learning

At NKN MS we want to ensure that we are educating each student as the whole child and providing a solid foundation for social and emotional literacy. To do this we use an evidence-based curriculum called CharacterStrong which offers vertically-aligned lessons that teach SEL and character development, side-by-side. CharacterStrong is based on the following 5 ingredients:

The 5 Ingredients

Emotion Understanding & Regulation: How We Feel & How We Act

Empathy & Compassion: What We Understand & How We Care

Values & Purpose: Who We Are & What We Do

Goals & Habits: The Dreams We Have & The Actions To Get There

Leadership & Teamwork: Developing Agency & Working Together
