In my 5 years experience within SPS I think we've seen five different social emotional curriculum, from Kelso to Roots of Empathy to RULER etc. Some are more narrow and focused purely on reducing bullying. Others aim more broadly and attempt to increase executive functioning and help kids process the various emotional stresses of school.
So how are the programs working for your kids?
- Is bullying an issue and has your curriculum helped?
- Have you seen personal benefits to your kids?
- Are there different strategies you'd like to see the schools follow?
