How should the district approach social-emotional learning?
Background
The school district is considering incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) into the curriculum to help students develop skills such as empathy, resilience, and self-regulation. Supporters argue SEL improves academic outcomes and reduces behavioral issues. Opponents worry it could take time away from core subjects and add pressure to teachers.
Options
- Integrate SEL into existing classes, such as health or advisory periods
- Introduce SEL as a standalone subject with dedicated class time
- Provide SEL training for teachers without altering the curriculum
- Maintain the current curriculum without adding SEL components
