SEL CENTER
Building the SEL Center
In the Social & Emotional Learning Center at Center, we implement research based activities and programs that lead to positive outcomes for students and staff.
Students need to know how to manage negative behaviors, be calm and focused, follow directions, and establish and maintain positive relationships with peers. Individuals with strong social emotional skills are better able to cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially.
Our SEL Center includes a ninety gallon aquarium complete with corals and tropical fish, a LEGO center, themed tree and more.
Our SEL Team is a steering committee made up of students, parents, aides, counselors, teachers, Judge Theresa Dellick, Alta Representatives and the Mahoning County Juvenile Court's David Porch. The following are some possible ideas for the future that they brainstormed at a recent planning session:
-
