Our Reopening Fall 2020 Plan

Reopening Plan 2020 > Social-Emotional Learning
 

Social-Emotional Learning

The social emotional well-being of our students is a top priority. SCSD is committed to giving staff the resources and training necessary to respond to the immense trauma COVID closures have had on our students and to communicate at-home supports for parents and families. SCSD will ensure that existing wraparound services and supports will continue whether students are in school or participating in remote instruction and that social emotional learning (SEL) will be a key component of reopening plans. 


 

Assessing Student Readiness to Learn

The analysis of data, consisting of the analysis of the panorama surveys administered to students and families prior to the March 16 closure and during the spring will be disaggregated centrally and trends will be highlighted in narrative form as well as through graphs and distributed to school teams through Office 365, can be conducted using the School Leadership Team or Discipline/School Climate Team, then funnel through the Intervention Team.
  • SIT plans to support students at multiple tiers.
  • Identify Multi Tier System of Support by School
  • Offer wraparound services to support students and families with essentials through Multi Tier Systems of Support.
