Social - Emotional Learning
SEL
College 1st has added a new social-emotional learning (SEL) component to all CAMPs, which incorporates: Self-Management, Self-Awareness, Responsible Decision Making, Relationship Skills and Social Awareness. Social-Emotional Learning is now part of the College, Career and Life Success Section in every CAMP we implement.
Why Social-Emotional Learning Matters
According to recent research studies, programs incorporating Social-Emotional Learning make students feel like their school provides a supportive, encouraging environment. These students are more likely to make academic improvements and get better scores in standardized tests, while also improving behavior & attitudes toward school and prevent substance abuse.
College 1st is committed to boost academic performance, improve school attendance and ignite early college & career planning. Social-emotional Learning is essential to accomplish these goals.
