The document discusses implementing the Strong Start social-emotional learning program in 3 second grade classrooms. The author conducted pre and post-tests to measure changes in students' social skills, emotional coping, and academic functioning after teaching the 10 Strong Start lessons over 3 months. Results showed increases in all measured areas across the 3 classrooms. This indicates that directly teaching social-emotional skills can have benefits for students.
Uruguayan EFL Secondary School Teachers' Perceptions about SELSheilaColi1
According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), SEL involves the processes through which individuals develop social and emotional competencies in five areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. The direct instruction of SEL can improve academic performance, and reduce behavioral issues, among others (CASEL, 2018; Schonert-Reichl, et. al., 2017, Taylor & Larson, 1999). Recent research claims that teachers reported the need for strong support from district and school leaders to effectively implement and promote social and emotional skills in their classrooms and schools (Schonert-Reichl, et. al., 2017).
The purpose of this study was to explore Uruguayan EFL secondary school teachers’ perceptions about the role of social emotional learning in the classroom. The findings presented in this paper reflect questionnaire data collected from a sample of 65 Uruguayan professional educators working in middle and high schools. The research question guiding this study was: What are Uruguayan EFL secondary school teachers’ perceptions about the role of social emotional learning in the classroom?
Presenters representing various perspectives (e.g., community-based agency,
Education, and Juvenile Justice) shared their experience of blending services and
dollars within the School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and
Support (SWPBIS) framework to identify and provide rapid access to treatment to
students that would otherwise be fragmented. It is estimated that as many as one in every six children in the country has a developmental or behavioral disability. Yet, only one out of five of those children receive the mental health services they need. Of those children that receive services, approximately 80% do so within a school setting. The relationship between social and emotional development to achievement has been well-documented. Subsequently, there has been considerable attention on the development of models for mental health in schools, including social emotional learning, school-wide prevention systems and more timely and effective treatment options for youth with more intensive mental health challenges.

Unit One Reflection
For this week’s journal entry reflect on your teaching experience. In both the Marzano and Jones textbooks, the authors stress the importance of focusing on classroom policies and procedures at the beginning of the school year in order to achieve a good start. How closely do you attend to the types of procedures discussed by these authors and what might you do differently in terms of planning and instructing in the future as a result of the readings? I work with students who are only assigned to my caseload; therefore I’m not closely involved in school wide/teacher planning. However, at times I participate in Intervention meetings with the Principal, Assistant Principal, teacher(s), School psychologist, School social worker and sometimes the parent. During the meetings, I offer strategies for classroom management behaviors. If a student is a candidate for ADHD or any disability, I arrange for psychological testing to assess whether possible ADHD or emotional factors are interfering with the student’s academic performance, provide feedback to the parents, and school officials regarding the psychological evaluation. I also consult with parents and school officials about designing effective learning programs for intervention strategies that build on his strengths and compensate weaknesses.
Unit Two Reflection
The "Dealing with the Dilemma of Gum Chewing" case study provides an example of how we can teach productive behaviors. After completing this week's reading, reflect on where this type of strategy might apply in your setting.
•Have you encountered situations in your setting where this approach may be more productive than what you have been doing? In the Kindergarten class, the students continue to struggle with picking up cut paper. Instead of having the students cut paper, the teacher showed the class how to fold the paper and use the edge of their desk to cut. After several times of redirecting, the students were able to begin using the scissors again. The students developed a system in the class where 1 person from each table (red, blue, purple, yellow) collects the paper straps.
•What are the ethical issues involved in establishing expectations without teaching the appropriate expected behaviors? Ethical issues continue to be an ongoing issue today in schools and without providing detailed expectations teachers leaves room for issues and concerns. Misinforming, consents, students getting hurt, etc. could happen. Students could always say they were not informed and the responsibility falls back on the teacher. I think in this situation communication is vital.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. What is Action Research?
Action Research is “…an active and engaged form of future
forming or lifescaping research designed to promote change and
accountability” (Lewis, 2016).
• Ken Gergen points out that “The aim of the future forming orientation
is to create what is to become” (Lewis, 2016).
• When conducting future forming research, we are looking ahead to
see what we can create in our community. We have to look at what is
already working in the school we are at, and then engage with others
in order to find out how we can expand on what is already in place.
• It is essential to become familiar with the community you are working
with. Understanding the systems already in place and using the
strengths of those systems will help to potentially create or build upon
something that will last even when you are no longer at the school.
• PIP is an on-going process, full of adaptations in order to create
change in the future (Lewis, 2016).
3. What is Social-Emotional Learning?
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is “…a process through which
children...effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary
to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel
and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive
relationships, and make responsible decisions” (CASEL, 2015).
4. Ecological Context
SL, CA: Elementary School
• Population: 87, 975 (United States Census Bureau,
2013)
• School Size: 408 students
• Asian: 42%
• Hispanic: 25%
• Filipino: 9%
• White: 8%
• 2 or more races: 8%
• African American: 7%
• Pacific Islander: 1%
• Students Participating in a Free or Reduced Price
Lunch Program: 42% of the student population
• English Language Learners: 35% of the student
population
5. Literature
Research shows that, “SEL can have a positive impact on school
climate and promote a host of academic, social, and emotional
benefits for students” (CASEL, 2015).
Durlak, Weissberg, Dymnicki, Taylor, & Schellinger (2011)
• Meta-analysis of 213 rigorous studies of SEL in schools
• Indicates that students receiving SEL instruction demonstrated
better academic performance, improved attitudes and behaviors,
fewer negative behaviors, and reduced emotional distress
• Achievement scores increased on average of 11 percentile points
higher than students who did not receive SEL instruction
• Students demonstrated a greater motivation to learn, deeper
commitment to school, increased time devoted to schoolwork, and
better classroom behavior
• Disruptive class behaviors, such as noncompliance, aggression,
delinquent acts, and disciplinary referrals decreased and there
were fewer reports of student depression, anxiety, stress, and
social withdrawal
6. Literature
“Social–emotional learning (SEL) is increasingly becoming an
area of focus for determining children’s school readiness and
predicting their academic success” (Denham & Brown, 2010).
Weissberg and Cascarino (2013)
• Overall results indicated that high quality and well
implemented SEL can have a positive effect on school
climate and promote academic, social, and emotional
benefits for students.
• Results showed improved social and emotional skills, self-
concept, bonding to school, and classroom behavior; fewer
conduct problems such as disruptive classroom behavior,
aggression, bullying, and delinquent acts; and reduced
emotional distress such as depression, stress, or social
withdrawal.
7. Strong Start
• Strong Start, the Strong Kids K-2 program, is evidence-
based and designed to be both a prevention and early
intervention program.
• It has a wide range of applications, and may be used
effectively with high functioning, typical, at-risk, or
emotionally-behaviorally disordered children, and in a
variety of settings.
• Strong Start includes 10 lessons, which take
approximately 35 minutes per lesson to teach and are
fun, activity-based, and utilize popular children's
literature to help emphasize main concepts.
8. My Action Research
• Implementing the Strong Start program as a Tier 1
intervention in the three, second grade classroom at an
elementary school in SL.
• The purpose of this research is to see if the
implementation of the Strong Start curriculum positively
affects students’ social skills, emotional coping, and
academic functioning in a school in which there is little
social and emotional learning or support.
• Will implementing Strong Start increase students’ social
skills, emotional coping, and academic functioning as
measured by teacher reports?
9. Participants
• Three, second grade classrooms
• Classroom 1: 24 students
• Classroom 2: 25 students
• Classroom 3: 25 students
• 2 students’ parents did not consent to their child receiving the
curriculum and collecting data
• 74 total student participants
• I will be facilitating the lesson with classroom teacher
assistance so that they learn the curriculum and language of
the program
• Information will be obtained for the subjects via teacher
report. Teachers will fill out a brief questionnaire to help
assess the students’ skill levels prior to the intervention and
after the intervention.
10. Phase 1
Initiating Conversations and Identifying
Challenges
• Began looking at school environment, accessible school
data, and other school-wide sources of information
• Principal, school psychologist, resource teacher
• Lack of social and emotional support for students
• Response to intervention (RTI) academic support,
tutoring, before and after school homework help, and
reading clubs
• Need for social skills and social, emotional, and
behavior support
11. Phase 2
Engaged Inquiry
• When students demonstrate a social, emotional, or
behavioral difficulty in the classroom, teachers and staff
members do not usually know how to respond, other
than sending the student to the office or principal’s
office.
• It would be beneficial for the schools to attend to the
whole range of social and emotional needs for students
in order to make fully rounded students who are
successful in both academics and social emotional
skills.
• As a whole, the community hopes to learn if a social
and emotional learning curriculum will benefit their
students, just at research has suggested.
12. Phase 3
Collaborative Actions
• With an emphasis on teaching students skills to build positive
relationships, social and emotional learning can be utilized as
a strategy for schools to improve students’ ability to cope
with frustrations and stressors
Problem Statement: Students do not have an opportunity to
learn social and emotional skills at school.
Hypothesis: With direct instruction of social and emotional
skills through Strong Start along with teacher buy in and support,
the second grade students will show growth in their social and
emotional skills, as change will be measured by the students and
their teacher. Students will learn healthy, pro-social skills in
emotional regulation, social interactions, and positive living for
school and life success through the implementation of the Strong
Start lessons.
13. Phase 4
Community Assessment and Reflection
• After looking at the pre-surveys data, I noticed that
teachers rated students’ social and emotional skills low.
In each class, a majority of students appear to struggle to
manage and express their feelings in appropriate ways,
which often times comes out in social situations.
• I implemented all 10 Strong Start lessons as planned over
the course of three months. Students were excited each
week when I came into the classroom, and demonstrated
the skills they were learning and remembering through
our exercises and discussions. Teachers confirmed that a
majority of them were able to carry the skills taught in my
period to other periods.
14. Pre and Post-test
• Short questionnaire to assess teachers’ perceptions of
students’ social-emotional functioning
• I measured the following four different areas of growth:
• The student’s has good overall social and emotional
functioning.
• The student is able to successfully solve conflicts with
peers.
• The student is able to cope with challenges in the
classroom
• I am pleased with the student’s overall academic
functioning.

10.Finishing Up
16. Goals
• Promote students' self-awareness, social awareness,
relationship, and responsible-decision-making skills
• Improve student attitudes and beliefs about self, others,
and school
• Acquiring these skills and meeting these goals allows for
a foundation that supports better academic performance
“…as reflected in more positive social behaviors and peer
relationships, fewer conduct problems, less emotional
distress, and improved grades and test scores”
(CASEL, 2015).
17. Results
• Quantitative data collection shows an increase in each
area measured across all three classrooms.
• Teacher responses were averaged
• Qualitative data shows that students were able to retain,
practice, and carry over skills practiced.
• These results are consistent with what the literature
predicted and are what I had hoped and anticipated for.
• This implicates that a social and emotional learning
curriculum could have promising results if it was applied
school wide, and that students could have better overall
social and emotional skills.
