The Community Learning Centers of the Wood County Educational Service Center are excited to share that in preparation for continued school closures, we have developed a summer/school year Social Emotional Learning program called “Foundations.”
This program is based on a 50-day topical schedule, and is centered around giving students the social emotional building blocks they need to head back into the school year on a strong and positive note. We believe that during these trying times, SEL is a necessary component of the daily school schedule. Further, this curriculum, which can be utilized over the summer, gives students experience in the distance learning environment and allows them to become accustomed to Google Classroom.
Plus, don’t worry parents, one of our primary goals was to ensure it was self-driven, easily usable and accessible, with almost no parental guidance needed. We hope to assist parents in breaking up the long summer days.
“Foundations” was created by a team of certified teachers and counselors, and include both 21st CCLC program academic objectives, and with the five SEL categories in mind. Daily topics include courage, confidence, pride,
leadership, resilience, and integrity, with each day a special blend of learning, complete with math, reading, physical activity, and virtual field trips.
This curriculum will be available to any student, free of charge.
