How is Lorraine Elementary incorporating SEL in everyday instruction?

 
At LES we provide SEL instruction daily, as part of our Specials classes.  All students receive the opportunity to learn about social skills, goal setting, conflict resolution and so much more.  We also serve a smaller population in our school via our SEL Center Circle - where we meet with scholars in need of some additional social skills or may need to learn self-awareness and care.

Our Series 1 Session focused on cooperation and teamwork.
