SEL makes a difference. We know this from the research, which demonstrates that an education that promotes SEL has a positive impact on a wide range of outcomes, including academic performance, healthy relationships, mental wellness, and more. SMFCSD ensures all students get the SEL they need to maximize their opportunities for success in life through direct SEL instruction in areas such as;

• Developing a growth mindset

• Goal setting 

• Emotion management

• Kindness and empathy

• Problem-solving
