Social and Emotional Learning

Cadet supervisors are required to attend weekly prep sessions on Mondays at 10:00 am starting on July 11^th. These sessions are for supervisors only. During the sessions, you will learn how to facilitate your weekly SEL Huddles with the youth and how to support them with completing their Habit Practice.

What is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)?

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.

What is a huddle?

A huddle is a virtual meeting with your supervisor and fellow GDYT participants. SEL Huddles will happen once a week. During the huddle, you will learn about a skill and complete activities. Your supervisor will also review the habit practice required for that week. Reach out to your supervisor to find out what day and time your huddles will take place.

What is habit practice?

Habit practices are activities that you will complete at home on your own. The habit practice will help you practice the social and emotional skills that you learned about that week in your huddle.

How do I submit my habit practice?

Reach out to your supervisor to find out how you submit your habit practice.

Habit Practice Tip: Complete your habit practice in a separate document from where you are submitting it and copy/paste your answers or upload the file into the system. This way your work is saved in case it gets lost.

Who do I reach out to if I have questions?

All Social and Emotional Learning questions can be answered by your supervisor.
