RCS SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND RESOURCES
The RCS Behavioral Health Department is working hard to support our students through social emotional learning. Research shows that SEL not only improves achievement by an average of 11 percentile points, but it also increases prosocial behaviors (such as kindness, sharing, and empathy), improves student attitudes toward school, and reduces depression and stress among students (Durlak et al., 2011). Effective social and emotional learning programming involves coordinated classroom, schoolwide, family, and community practices that help students develop the following five key skills: self management, self-awareness, social awareness, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills.
