SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL)
Starter Questions and Answers
Who do I contact about behavior concerns?
Start with the school counselor or assistant principal. For JHS, this ensures that behavior is viewed through the lens of “support” rather than just “discipline.”
What SEL supports exist?
Available supports include school-based counseling, behavior intervention plans (BIP), and social skills training.
What are the primary goals of these strategies?
These strategies focus on mental wellness, counseling, and overall student success. A student who feels emotionally safe is a student who can focus on passing the 23 credits needed for graduation.
