Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/14/2020 -- The U.S school system is challenged with multiple problems including below average test scores, a lack of respect for teaching staff and elders, poor student engagement, and low levels of self-discipline. These issues have decreased student attendance and confidence in the school system. An average of 1.2 million students drop out each year and students with a deficiency in mental and emotional resilience show an increase in rates of depression, suicide, and drug use. To counteract these problems, Resilience, Inc has developed a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum that is currently being used by Dream Academy.
Resilience has created the SELENA program - Social Emotional Learning Enhancement Application. The content helps to develop self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness, relationship management and, goal setting and decision making skills in K-12 students. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
The SELENA program has 5 core topics. These 5 topics are broken into 65 brief lessons that can be fit into Language Arts, Social Studies, Health class and others. Resilience, Inc believes that mental strength and emotional resilience are just as important for children to learn as the current core curriculum.
