There are SEL specialists and school counselors pushing into classrooms  each week to teach Harmony SEL lessons. The enthusiasm and desire to prioritize SEL and creating positive cultures and climates in our schools is inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When work is anchored in student relationships, there are emotional, physical, and learning benefits from these relationships. Creating ways to prioritize friendships and connection for children and ourselves creates a positive culture and climate for our classrooms and schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the latest research in SEL, the Harmony unit structure centers on building harmonious relationships and creating inclusive environments where all students feel valued, heard and can develop a sense of agency within their educational experience. In an effort to support the evolving needs of our students, educators, and families – Harmony\u2019s curriculum will focus on enhancing cultural competence, equity, and student voices. This focus aligns with the latest updates by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) regarding systemic SEL and SEL in the service of equity and excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
