Dear Raider Families,
One of the aims at our Midwest Central High School is to equip young people for all the realities of today’s world. With that in mind, we have partnered with CharacterStrong - an organization that provides training for educators and social & emotional learning curriculum for students. Their work in grades 6-12 focus on 3 main outcomes: increasing a sense of belonging for all students, improving skills that support student well-being, and deepening student engagement in their academics, in their school, and in their community.
Here’s what the data tells us:
• A sense of belonging in school is one of the most important conditions for
learning and a fundamental support for social and emotional well-being. Nearly
1⁄3 of all students report a weak sense of belonging in their schools. Roughly half of
6th - 12th grade students say they don’t enjoy coming to school most of the time.
• Mental health challenges for teens have been increasing and 7 out of 10 teens
in the U.S. (between 13 and 17 years old) have named anxiety or depression as a
major problem among their peers.
• Student engagement drives learning and supports school success.
This curriculum was created to support school communities as they engage in the
work of preparing young people to thrive in the 21st century. The research supports the effectiveness of social & emotional learning in schools to increase student’s academic success and college & career readiness. The lessons focus on developing skills and mindsets around building positive habits, understanding our emotions, and increasing empathy for people and communities who have lived different lives than us.
With all that being said, Mrs. Harbourn will start meeting with study halls this upcoming Monday, September 18th. Study halls will be notified prior to what day they will be participating in the social/emotional group. Students will meet with Mrs. Harbourn twice a month in a group setting. If you do have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email or call.
