Social Emotional Learning
Emotional Intelligence
Meet Dean Ryan Edwards,
helping students balance academics with
social/emotional learning.
​
​
What does SEL look like at CWSCS?
grades K-3
It is doing emotional awareness and emotional vocabulary development—developing the language to talk about the way they feel.
grades 4 & 5
It is discussing ideas around citizenship: What does it mean to be a good friend? What does it mean to be a good person? How do we address conflicts and disagreements?
grades 6-8
It is growing in social justice awareness, discussing such questions as What is justice? and What is the difference between a right and a privilege?
"Intertwining social and emotional learning and academics advances the ability of our students to adapt to change with the essential skills to effectively manage new challanges."
