Social and Emotional Learning: Helping Engage Students Digitally.

Help me give my students fire tablets so we can move to digital learning in the group and individual setting. This will also allow for students to have access to SEL based support while on remote learning days.

My Students

I have the best job ever invented! I get to help kids all day long with their social and emotional needs by teaching them imperative life skills. It's incredible to me the amount of anxiety, depression and emotional dysregulation (among a myriad of other things) I see every day when I come to work.

I've been a school counselor for over 10 years, and the rise in mental health concerns with our littlest students has been unbelievable.

My caseload has tripled over the years, especially with my K-5 position. I've worked with all age groups in schools and the students I feel need the most support are elementary kids.

My particular students are amazing. The resiliency I have seen in the last 2 years blows me away. However, even with the innate skills they already possess, at least 20-25% of our population need additional adeptness to face life's challenges. One of the greatest things about my students is that they WANT to help themselves. They want to learn skills to help them succeed in all facets of life.

My Project

My students are so ready to learn and enjoy group/individual sessions with me. However, I have seen a slight decline in engagement and lesson retention this year. Feedback from the students suggests that digital learning and hands on object lessons would be more rewarding for most of them. Additionally, moving most of my lessons to digital content would save exponentially on resources and time - as a lot of prep (printing, cutting, lamination, etc) goes into printed documents.

When my students come to see me, the place they seem to thrive the most is the sensory area.

I find that it is absolutely necessary for these students to have a place where they can free their worries for 10 minutes and just have a mindful moment. Aside from the tablets and curriculum listed, I've added student requested sensory items to help them when they need a breather.

Lastly, I will be part of opening a new school next year. With this move and merge with another school, the SEL team and administrators deem it imperative that each teacher have a respite area in their classroom. We wanted to streamline the experience and also take the burden from the teachers. The rest of the materials listed are for this project.

I'm fortunate that I have such amazing students that I can learn from. Most of the items requested are something a student/(s) have stated will help them engage in and retain social/emotional learning. My students love to learn and I would be honored to help provide anything to meet their needs.
