Social Emotional Learning

Social Emotional Learning at Leawood Elementary

Leawood has a full time social worker and a half time social emotional learning specialist! We help students develop positive connections at school so that they can discover, inspire and grow. We provide social/emotional support to students to help them build their social skills, problem solving skills, and coping skills. When families are faced with challenges such as financial hardship or loss, we have resources to share. We can also help families with questions they may have around their child's behavioral or emotional needs. Please feel free to reach out to either of us by calling the school (303) 982-7860 or sending an e-mail. 

We look forward to working with you!

Social Emotional Learning in Jeffco

Jeffco Public Schools creates and maintains a positive climate and culture in schools that is inclusive and safe for students, families and staff. With a commitment to empowering successful and productive citizens,  the district supports the growth of students through leveled, evidence-based implementation of social emotional learning programming.

What is Social Emotional Learning (SEL)?

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which students and adults gain and apply the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to deal effectively with daily tasks and challenges.

Jeffco has adopted the five core competencies of SEL outlined by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL). 

  • Self-Awareness
  • Self-Management
  • Social Awareness
  • Relationship Skills
  • Responsible Decision-Making (CASEL, 2020)

SEL happens in safe and supportive school, family and community environments that support development and provide opportunities and recognition for successfully applying skills.
