Social & Emotional Learning (SEL)
A Nashville elementary school takes a comprehensive approach to trauma-informed practices, creating a space where students feel known and supported.
- Restorative Practices - Putting relationships first can yield positive results in student success. 
- Trauma-Informed Practices - Students can develop the core competencies of social and emotional learning with the support of strong relationships with teachers. 
- Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) - Students who need extra social and emotional support have a quick check-in with an adult at the start and end of each day. 
- Mental Health - A trauma-informed approach ensures that students feel safe, supported, and nurtured—to improve their chances of academic success.  
- Teacher Wellness - It’s a simple self-care strategy: Teachers text a colleague to cover their class for a minute when they need to de-escalate and recharge. 
- Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) - Providing students with a quiet spot where they can calm themselves in times of stress helps them develop self-regulation.
