Human and Social Development

Our students will study personal and human social skills and as they relate to students' identity in the world - both as individuals and as members of their community. We are learning that personal and human social skills encompass the abilities students needs to thrive as individuals, to understand and care about themselves and others, and to find and achieve their purposes in the world. 

Goals

  • Improve student sense of well-being. ​
Students playing at a carpet. Soft start routines support our SEL goal by fostering belonging, emotional regulation, and positive relationships at the start of each day.
Students in a circle while someone drums in the middle. Our school community gathered in a healing circle on Orange Shirt Day, fostering connection, reflection, and a sense of belonging for everyone.
