Leominster Public Schools promote Social/Emotional Learning!

On Friday, October 5th, the entire Leominster Public School District participated in a Social/Emotion Learning (SEL) Professional Development

What is SEL?

Social and Emotional Learning is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. (CASEL)

Teachers and staff viewed and participated in an SEL presentation and had dynamic discussions on how we can strengthen our students' learning experiences. We also shared and discussed how to incorporate SEL into lessons and everyday activities. 

Below are two great resource for parents to encourage and support their child's Social/Emotional Learning Development.
