S.E.L. Social Emotional Learning
P.S. 223 is committed to ensuring that we support students social and emotional needs. Students engage in SEL activities on a daily basis at various times throughout out the day. We understand that children are unique and show their emotions in various ways, this is why we provide them with the time they need to reflect and discuss their feelings.
We utilize the Sanford and Harmony curriculum across grades 3K-5, which provides students with opportunities to discuss their emotions in various ways and strategies to support them in being socially and emotionally healthy.
What is Social Emotional Learning?
Social emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which boys and girls and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for being a healthy adult. This includes problem-solving skills and intergender communication and understanding, as well as teaching kids to embrace diversity and build healthy relationships that will last well into adulthood.
