Sequoia Grove SEL
Meet your School Counselor
SEL Groups
Please contact your HST if you are interested in enrolling your student in one of our SEL Groups.
During the eight week counseling groups, students will meet with the counselor once per week to engage in social emotional learning. Each intervention cycle will have a different focus across all grade bands (listed below). The material for each grade band is tailored to be grade appropriate. Parents will receive an email "newsletter" each week after the student's class that will provide parents and HST's the information covered in that week's lesson so they can continue supporting their students.
Cycle 1: Coping (Internalizing Emotions)
Teaching students emotion regulation skills to respond to situations that cause strong internalizing emotions, like sadness, worry, and stress, to feel calmer and able to make helpful choices.
Cycle 2: Regulation (Externalizing Emotions)
Teaching students emotion regulation skills to respond to situations that cause strong externalizing emotions, like anger, frustration, and impatience, to feel calmer and more skilled to make helpful choices.
Cycle 3: Self Management (Executive Functioning)
Teaching students knowledge and tools to support executive functioning to stay focused, delay gratification, follow and remember tasks, exercise impulse control, and organize tasks, things, and time.
Cycle 4: Relationships (Social Skills)
Teaching students social skills to establish, maintain, and restore relationships with others and resolve conflicts productively.
