Social and Emotional Learning in School

 HOW TO INCORPORATE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING IN SCHOOLS / HOMES

 

Parents and teachers are saddled with the responsibility of teaching children life skills that will help them face the challenges of life. Emotionally weak children grow up to become emotionally weak adults. Schools can incorporate SEL (social and emotional learning) in their classrooms by doing the following,


🎇 Start the day by connecting with students. This can be by greetings.


🎇 Help students work in partnerships.


🎇 Teach students to work in groups.


🎇 Nurture a culture of kindness.


🎇 Give kids positive phrases that they can use to overcome failure and foster resilience.


🎇 Set up a peace or safe place where students can stay when they need to calm themselves.


🎇 Teach kids how to manage conflicts with peer mediation.


🎇 Give kids both strutured and unstructured opportunities to interact with one another, and with older and younger students.


🎇 Use cooperative learning games to promote social and relationship skills.


🎇 Where possible, create alternative arrangements that allows kids to seat in teams.


🎇 Teach students to monitor their progress by setting, revisiting and adjusting their goals.


🎇 Create time for reflective writing.


🎇 Encourage students to express themselves through arts.


🎇 Give your students age appropriate task that can help them build self confidence.


🎇 Teachers should observe students mood and offer them relevant counseling.


🎇 Students should be taught how to handle rejections.


🎇 Kids should be made to see that failure is a part of life and success and that failing doesn't make one a success.


🎇 Name calling and shaming of children should be discouraged.


🎇 Zero tolerance should be given to bullying.



There's no point in churning out graduates that are academically sound but mentally or emotionally deficient. Incorporating SEL into schools will no doubt reduce the rate of death by suicide.

Monitor the kids around you

Watch this video and explain to your children the reason to avoid unnecessary drama and physical confrontations at home and schools  There's also a need for parents and teachers to carefully monitor the kids/teenagers within their care.
