INSIGHTS
SEL Insights We asked parents and students about their impressions on social emotional learning as they understand it and here is what they said: Atoshi, Parent “In our generation, many people felt that they needed to always be feeling good on the outside even though they may be feeling differently on the inside. It is important for people to know that it is ok to talk about your feelings, what you need, and how others can help you."
Daniel, Grade 7 “Being a good friend is when you are there for each other when one is sad or upset. We help each other.”
George, Parent “Our daughter is an only child, so it is a growing experience for her to learn how to work with other kids. The other kid needs to be understood too; if they are saying ‘no’ to her, she needs to know where they are coming from and why they said ‘no.’”
Kainani, Grade 8 “Getting freaked out about a test or presentation isn’t good for you. You know the stuff; just be confident.”
Ethan, Grade 5 “Even a small act like holding the door for someone helps them feel good.”
