My Project

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."—Aristotle

The materials that I am requesting will help to to nurture the hearts and emotions of my students by integrating a social-emotional learning curriculum in my special needs classroom.

Social-emotional learning (SEL) emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing emotions, building healthy relationships, and developing social awareness. Teaching children self-management skills is extremely important as it equips them with tools that are essential for regulating their emotions, navigating challenges, achieving goals, and maintaining positive relationships. These are all skills that can be difficult to master for anyone, and even more difficult for children with special needs.
