KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 12TH GRADE
SEL Resilience for Grades K-12:
Teaching SEL at a young age prepares children for a lifetime of challenges. The ultimate goal is to develop mental strength, social-emotional strength, and the capability to achieve happiness. When children are academically taught how to handle uncomfortable or undesirable emotions, they are less likely to resort to self-destructive or outwardly aggressive behavior.
The SEL Resilience program provides lessons in multiple forms of activities ranging from workbook reading and mobile apps to board games and interactive exercises. The workbook reading and mobile apps are designed to develop students ability to solve problems while interacting with other students. There are specific programs for each grade age.
A lesson is recommended at a minimum of 3-4 times per week for adequate training. The lessons takes place over the course of 4-5 months.
Home Connections:
Parents and guardians are welcome to participate with their children during lessons. This provides the parents the ability to become involved in the teaching process and gives the child the comfort only attained by a present parent. Studies show that children whose guardians participate have a higher likelihood of success in the program than those that do not.
YOUNG ADULTS
SEL Resilience for Young Adults
A strong and healthy mind requires consistent exercise, just like the body. Maintaining a skill requires repetition.
Young adults taught to build their emotional intelligence, are more prepared to face the challenges of beginning adulthood. They can handle situations with a clear head, and have a more positive outlook than someone not taught EQ skills.
Gaining social-emotional resilience will allow young adults to face constructive situations with a steadfast mind and help them think thoroughly before making aggressive actions. Young adults learn to recognize their emotions while also considering the emotions of others.
