“Social and Emotional Learning is a process for helping children and adults develop fundamental skills for life effectiveness. SEL teaches the skills we all need to handle ourselves, our relationships, and our work effectively and ethically. These skills include recognizing and managing our emotions, developing caring and concern for others, establishing positive relationships, making responsible decisions, and handling challenging situations constructively and ethically.”
 
At Brooke Elementary we embrace the Social and Emotional Learning process and integrate it into everyday learning. Teachers and students recognize and appreciate the value it provides in their relationships and experiences in the academic environment. In addition to this integration into content, direct SEL lessons are taught weekly and there are school wide events, such as No Place for Hate, that encourage and support the SEL principles.
