Welcome back to another Social Emotional Learning Study Groups (SELSG+) monthly newsletter! We hope everyone is having a relaxing and refreshing holiday break with family and friends! While long holiday breaks can be a needed change of pace, it can be difficult for some students to transition back into the structure and routines within the school day. As you prepare to start back up in January, we wanted to take some time to provide you with some strategies to move smoothly into the new semester. First of all, take some time to revisit your classroom rules and routines. As teachers, we typically do a great job at the beginning of the year teaching and modeling our classroom rules and expectations until they are well established and understood by all students. However, when coming back from a long break, some students may need some re-teaching of the rules and expectations. By planning opportunities immediately after returning, teachers can re-establish their classroom community, setting all students up for success. For some unique ways to re-visit and re-establish rules and routines, check out this resource. Additionally, coming back from break can be difficult for students who have trouble readjusting to the routines of school. Check out this website for ideas of how to ease the transition back to the classroom. We want to also highlight a social emotional learning kernel within this newsletter, called Classroom Reset. Classroom Resets take the place of warning-based classroom management systems such as tally marks or clip charts and instead focus on helping students build social and emotional competencies such as self-awareness, self-monitoring, and self-regulation of emotions. During a Classroom Reset students have an opportunity take a break from their current setting to re-regulate. There are five components of a classroom reset:
Finally, we are excited to share an opportunity for K-3 teachers. We are looking for K-3 teachers to review our SELSG+ program and provide your feedback and suggestions in an interview called a Think Aloud, which will take 90 minutes. You will receive $60 for participating. If you’re interested, you can sign up here https://bit.ly/3zi9qvh.
