Social-Emotional Learning

Newsletter guides for communicating social-emotional learning, mindfulness, and mental health programs to families

SEL newsletter communication has to bridge a gap between the language educators use (growth mindset, emotional regulation, executive function) and the language families use (my kid is anxious, my kid won't do homework, my kid keeps getting in fights). The articles here are written for that bridge. You will find guides for explaining SEL programs to skeptical families, communicating specific lessons in terms families can act on at home, and addressing the SEL topics that families often bring to school already in crisis: anxiety, social exclusion, anger management, and grief. There are also resources for communicating about mental health awareness months without turning the newsletter into a clinical document.
