Hello Meridian Parents/Guardians:
This year Meridian District 101 will be providing a monthly newsletter to parents on what
students are learning in our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program. Our SEL Coaches for
(Elementary) grades K-5 is Mrs. Jacy Hileman and (Jr/Sr High) grades 6-12 is Ms. Regina
Harley
What is SEL?
We define (SEL) as an integral part of students’ education and human development. SEL is
the process by which young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills,
techniques, and attitudes to help develop healthy identities, manage emotions, achieve
personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain
supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.
Here are 3 things to know about social and emotional learning:
Social and emotional learning is a foundation for many of our most pressing priorities: SEL
helps young people – and adults – learn and practice skills that set them up for academic
success, fulfilling careers, healthy relationships, and responsible civic engagement.
The research is clear: Social and emotional learning in schools leads to positive outcomes,
including better academic performance, and decreases in stress and anxiety
.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach: Social and emotional learning brings families, schools,
and communities together to make sure every child has caring relationships and what they
need to learn, grow, and thrive.
