Social-Emotional Awareness and Coping Skills:
● Students learn to manage their own emotions! Become more aware of why they feel a
certain way and, more importantly, what makes them feel that way.
● Students learn to empathize and show care and concern for those around them. Because
once they identify their own emotions and behaviors, they can identify the same in others
and recognize the other person's needs.
● Students learn to solve problems effectively. They are much less influenced by emotional
obstacles in solving problems and enjoy greater success in harnessing their energy to find
solutions, rather than worrying about the problem.
● Students learn to make responsible decisions. These decisions not only translate to
themselves, but also transfer to others around them like a helping hand, good friendly
advice, or just being mindful, sensitive, and understanding.
● Students learn to maintain healthy relationships. They value people more than observable
traits and behavior and value rational and productive results, rather than wasted time,
energy, or emotion.
