TMH teaches SEL.

What is Social-Emotional Learning?

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is the process of developing the self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making abilities necessary for success in school, work, and life. It involves teaching and practicing skills like emotional regulation, empathy, conflict resolution, and communication. Effective SEL programs integrate these skills into the curriculum and school environment, fostering a positive learning climate and improving students' academic performance and overall well-being. Ultimately, SEL aims to equip individuals with the tools to navigate complex social situations, build healthy relationships, and make responsible choices.

Who is teaching? Who is learning?

Our advocates visit our local schools weekly. Currently, Chelsea and Cait attend Pioneer Elementary and teach SEL to the third, fourth, and fifth graders. Pam and Mallori visit Salmon Junior/Senior High School and teach SEL to the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. We are hoping to expand our efforts to reach students at the lower and higher levels in the future.

What curriculum do you use?

Our elementary students are taught using Second Step and our middle school students are taught using The Core Project. You can find more information about these curriculums at the links below.
