You may be aware that in March, the New York City Department of Education made the monumental decision to close New York City public schools to help curb the spread of COVID-19. Can you think of a better time than now for students to be enhancing their emotional resilience skills? And, if you think that social emotional learning is just for kids, you would be wrong!
Coach Colette and the Start Within Podcast team are excited to join the global movement to celebrate the importance of social emotional learning (SEL) on the first annual International SEL Day on March 27, 2020. This special, Friday episode of Coach Chat is a conversation with Daniel Trinidad, the Restorative Justice Coordinator at Urban Assembly Media High School.
You will hear from Daniel how implementing SEL has not only improved student wellbeing and academic outcomes, but also has enhanced the overall culture and environment in the school. You'll also hear how he has improved his own social and emotional wellbeing using the framework for himself.
The Urban Assembly was founded in 1997 under the mission of advancing students' economic and social mobility by improving public education. In partnership with the NYC Department of Education, the UA has created 23 small, career-themed middle and high schools throughout New York City.
