Social and Emotional Wellness
The Elizabethtown Area School District understands that students come to school with different motivations for their learning experience as related to their level of engagement, behavior, and academic performance. We desire to make a connection with every one of our students to bring out the best in them. As such, EASD employs numerous Social Emotional Learning (SEL) philosophies K-12 to address the diverse social, economic, emotional, and family backgrounds of our students. Social and emotional learning is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions (https://casel.org/what-is-sel/).
The following is a list of SEL resources specific to the practices of the Elizabethtown Area School District.
