Social-Emotional Support
Mindset Monday March Topic: Self-Compassion and The Power of Mistakes
We learned so much in our class last week about
“The Power of Mistakes” and “Self-Compassion”.
Do you know what Neuroplasticity is?
In case you missed, here are the recordings you can watch and the resources you can review to learn more about it!
Schoolwide Learner Outcomes
The Schoolwide Learner Outcomes are goals that we have for the students at Pacific Coast Academy. By receiving an education with us, our goal is that by the time a student graduates high school, the SLOs will be incorporated into a student's life.
One goal, as educators, is to help our students become independent in their learning and thinking. Let us know how you support this or observe this in your students.
Let's Investigate:
Independent Critical Thinkers
Independent critical thinkers who have the ability to problem-solve, take ownership, and apply their knowledge to a variety of problems.
Wondering where to locate PCA's SLOs? Click here!
Please share how you have observed students becoming or demonstrating the ability to be independent critical thinkers below!

#SELday
Join us for the second annual International SEL Day on March 26, 2021! This is an opportunity to spread the word about the importance and impact of social emotional learning.
We know that social emotional learning (SEL) changes lives. Studies show that SEL delivers long-term improvements in skills, behavior, and academic performance while reducing anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. SEL competencies are also critically important for long-term success in today’s economy.
This year as we continue to face the challenges of a global pandemic, SEL Day 2021 will focus on Building Bonds, Reimagining Communities. Working together, we can raise awareness for SEL, and incorporate SEL practices into our learning days at home.
Learn more about and sign up for SEL day here.
Check out our school’s SEL resources here.
