Staff: SEL lessons building classroom climate, but team capacity is limited
Summary
Staff reported that the CESA SEL curriculum has helped classroom climate and community but raised concerns about whether the SEL team has enough members and time to sustain programming; team absences are noticeable.
Staff representatives told the May 14 meeting that the CESA social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum has been positive and contributes to class climate and community when teachers are engaged in delivery. Meeting notes state: "When the teachers are invested in delivering the curriculum, the kids get into it," and attendees said team members are "visibly missed" when absent, raising questions about whether the SEL team has sufficient capacity.
Board and staff agreed to monitor team staffing and participation as part of ongoing program review; no formal motion was recorded. The discussion flagged a need to confirm SEL team time commitments and consider whether additional staffing or scheduling changes are required to sustain consistent delivery of lessons.
