    In New Haven Public Schools, we develop students’ social-emotional learning (SEL) skills in order to increase student engagement in academic learning, reduce dysregulated behaviors that prevent students from experiencing success, and improve academic outcomes, in order to prepare all students for college and career. We develop student SEL skills, through culture and climate, explicit instruction, and academic integration.

     

    New Haven Public Schools is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for all students to develop the skills necessary to succeed in college, career, and life. We recognize that our students’ personal development must be nurtured concurrently with their academic development, with a high level of focus in the areas of multi-tiered support (MTSS), the middle to high school transition, and supportive SEL spaces.

     

    The promotion of student self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making skills is paramount to improving student attitudes and beliefs about self, others, and school. We are committed to supporting student growth and development using the Whole Child Framework and the Connecticut State Department of Education’s Social, Emotional, and Intellectual Habits.
