This fall our students participated in a well-being survey, administered district-wide, to gather perceptions of student wellness and mental health. Decades of research has shown that student perceptions strongly correlate with learning outcomes. Panorama identifies areas for celebration and growth in regards to social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies.
Compared to other students nationally, at TRCS:
- Students across grades shared superior perceptions of social awareness, growth mindset, and teacher-student relationships
- Middle school students shared high perceptions of diversity and inclusion, and cultural awareness and action, while areas of growth included emotional regulation and sense of belonging
- Upper elementary students shared high perceptions of school climate while self-efficacy was an area for growth
Education emphasizing social-emotional learning (SEL) has a positive impact on attendance, behavior, course performance, and healthy relationships. TRCS students have access to SEL through whole class instruction in health and advisory, small group interventions during lunch bunch, and individual counseling for short term support. Survey results help to inform counseling interventions in a post-pandemic learning environment, and students will do the Panorama survey again this spring.
