A dedicated SEL committee for reopening has been developed with the goal of providing teachers with a Tool Kit that will support incorporation of strategies for SEL into instruction for the first 2 to 4 weeks of school. The committee is made up of teachers and district staff PreK to grade 12. The committee is charged with not only supporting students, but also staff. The committee has focused on the 4 SEL Critical Practices of the Roadmap. The State of CT defines Social Emotional Learning as: The process through which children and adults achieve emotional intelligence through the competencies of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making (Public Act 19-166).
