Role of a AEHS School Counselor

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)Purpose of SEL: We recognize the traumatic impact the COVID-19 global pandemic has had on our students. During this time, many students are perplexed by grief, anxiety, and confusion while searching for a sense of

normalcy. To address these concerns, MCPS, along with districts around the country, has made social emotional learning a priority. To support our schools, we have developed a Social Emotional learning framework including lessons

and professional development to support the well-being of students.

What is SEL? Social Emotional Learning is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and

skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain

positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)❏ Will be taught through Period 8/ Student Advisory

❏ New for Einstein students, as well as most students across MCPS

❏ Will typically be on Tuesdays.

❏ Designed to work on skills that are not explicitly taught in content classes.

❏ Developing skills that will help students be successful in all of their classes, but may not be directly linked to the curriculum. Skills dealing with flexibility, resilience, mindfulness, growth mindset, stress management, etc. to make sure students are being provided tools to be successful in life in general, but especially in virtual learning.

❏ New for all of us.

❏ Want to make sure that you are managing to the best of your ability and we are providing support you can use.
