The Principal's POV on SEL Stories
To paraphrase Carla Tantillo Philibert, SEL isn't about purchasing another program or adding an extra block to the day. It's not just for for students in counseling groups or only part of special education programming. Instead, SEL should be spread throughout the day. It should be part of our everyday language & must permeate everything we do as we work with students. This is the only way that we can ensure that ALL students are developing an understanding of self & social awareness. Therefore, we must look at SEL through the lens of tiered supports...and it all starts with our schoolwide routines!
The SEL Story is the center-piece for each Monday's Social-Emotional Learning lesson and is the backbone to ensuring purposeful talk about social/self awareness! In order to help facilitate this, I have written all our Stories for us and will include them during AM Announcements every Monday (along with some Bulldog Buddy Breathing). You will also receive our Stories each week with the Buzz. This way you can display them via your ELMO during class dialog and print them to include in your writing centers as a prompt!
See below for a sample script/reminders to assist you as you work with students to unpack each SEL Story...and as we prep for opening day, don't forget to take a moment to share your reflections and POP Chart pics via social media or email!

News & Notes
Emergency Sub Plans: Emergency Sub Plans will be due by Friday, September 28.
Trauma & SEL: Our BIG theme for this year will be trauma & SEL. If you haven't had the opportunity to checkout my point of view, click here...and don't forget to share your reflections via email or social media!
Morning Mindfulness: Starting Monday (9/10) I will be hosting a daily Morning Mindfulness session in the Media Center each morning! We will start at 7:45 AM & everyone is invited to attend! After all, we can't support student mindfulness if we aren't developing ours!
Meeting Minutes: In an effort to cut down on emails, all our meeting minutes will be kept on a Google DOC, and he link (see below) will be included in the Buzz each week! This way we will have easy access to monthly updates & can easily scroll back to previous minutes if you happen to miss!
