What is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)?
SEL refers to both a set of core competencies and a process of learning - Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making skills.
The process of SEL refers to the creation of a safe, caring, and highly participatory learning environment where SEL competencies are modeled, taught, and reinforced. SEL is based on an understanding that learning is a social process; therefore, relationships and emotions are central to the learning process. SEL is also based on the realization that feelings, thoughts, and actions are interrelated. For learning to be effective, the needs of the whole child must be addressed.
For example, youth who are socially and emotionally competent are able to:
Recognize and manage emotions
Express care and concern for others
Make responsible decisions
Behave ethically and responsibly
Develop positive relationships
Avoid risky behaviors
Communicate effectively
Set and reach goals
Be self-motivated and self-directed

The Virtual Compassion Corner
Middle School and High school students can self-refer for mental health support when they are having a difficult time in their life during the school year. They can meet with a counselor or school psychologist virtually during school hours to discuss current life situations that may be impacting their overall functioning.
Students complete the Virtual Compassion Corner form (CPA, MVA, PCA) to notify a counselor they are seeking help. Once the form is submitted, the student receives a confirmation notice and email that contain an appointment link.
