PSELI Principals and Site Team Members
|
|
System-level staff will schedule a meeting with you and your SEL site team members to help you review your goals, as well as to provide assistance toward finalizing the goal-setting process. You will be sent a calendar invitation and asked to select a date to meet with the SEL specialists.
- Following your meeting, your SEL specialist will expect to receive your draft plan (and school planning rubric) by Friday, March 1, 2019.
- You will then receive additional feedback on your plan and make changes, if needed. The principal and OST director will sign off on and re-submit plans by Tuesday, March 12, 2019.
- Following that, SEL specialists will contact you if any additional changes to your plan are requested from either system-level staff or the Wallace Foundation before the 2019-2020 school year starts.

Worry Plaque at Diamond View Elementary
|
|
Diamond View Elementary is helping students start their day "worry free" and ready to learn! A Worry Plaque has been placed on the wall by the front doors. When students enter the building in the morning, they are able to release their worries from home and/or for their school day. They are finding that students are sharing their worries readily and staff is on hand and able to assist with problem-solving.
Visit the company's website (below) for resources and short videos describing how the Worry Plaque can be used to help children process their fears, worries and frustrations. Use the videos during Morning Meeting/SEL time to start conversations or guide students through troublesome times.

Adult-youth Interactive Modeling in an Afternoon Meeting (Greeting)
|
|
|
 |
This video clip provides an example of how to model the “Roll the Ball Greeting” with youth in kindergarten and first grade during an Afternoon Meeting. Interactive Modeling is one of the key ingredients to framing and redirecting behavior with youth in a positive, proactive way, while giving youth voice in the process. Here the OST practitioner actively engages the children to jointly demonstrate and model the different steps in the activity and the appropriate behavior that is expected. She does this by asking youth open-ended questions about how the appropriate way to roll the ball, using visual cues, and practicing a couple times with youth volunteers before actually starting the Greeting.
