A. Explain why social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies contribute to a supportive and
inclusive school culture that promotes student success in an educaonal setng.
SEL competencies contribute to supportive and inclusive school culture, setng students up for success in
school and when they leave school. In educaon you often hear how students do not care about what you
know until they know that you care. I have found this to be true and so have studies. In their research
and studies, The Aspen Institute (2018) found that SEL competencies and academics are “fundamentally
intertwined during the learning process (p.3). Every teacher I worked with recognizes this connection and
the need to explicitly teach social and emotional skills in the classroom. SEL competencies support students’
willingness to try new things, take risks, work together, and understand/manage their emotions. In my
years in the classroom, I have seen the need for connection firsthand many times. As a special educaon
teacher that worked with students who spent most of their time in the general educaon setng, I was often
the consistent person from one year to the next. I spent time building relaonships with my students,
encouraging them, celebrang their successes (including the lessons learned from mistakes), and
providing a safe place for them to process big
emotions. Once I established that setng where students felt safe, cared for, and heard, students made
amazing progress with both academics and behavior in all setngs, not just mine. They were able to
problem-solve and persevere through hard academic and social situaons and had the specific language
for social problem-solving to work with peers and adults when they were struggling with their emotions.
SEL competencies and explicit teaching of these skills support students in their academics and their
interpersonal relaonships.
B. Describe your experience with one practice or strategy (e.g., access to educaonal resources,
technologies, opportunities) in an educaonal setng that promotes student success in an
educaonal setng
One experience I had with a strategy that promoted student success was access to assistive technology.
This specific student had a learning disability that impacted their reading and writing. They were in 6th
grade but reading and writing at a 1st grade level. The student was able to comprehend texts at grade
level if they were read to them and was able to express their understanding verbally even though their
writing was also at the 1st grade level. I worked with our technology department and the classroom
teacher. We provided the student with assistive technology that would scan worksheets and texts that the
teacher handed out and read them to them. The student could then use voice-to-text and dictate their
responses. We also provided the student with access to audiobooks and programs like Bookshare so
that they could listen to books and textbooks instead of having to read them. With this technology, the
student could participate in their general educaon classroom, access the curriculum, and make progress
toward grade level standards that they had not accessed before because of their struggles with reading.
This student went from being isolated from their peers and doing alternate work to engaging in
discussions and projects with their peers. Having access to this level of learning also promoted
friendships with peers as they no longer looked at this student as someone who always needed their
help.
