Social Emotional Learning 
SEL 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 (CASEL).
-Spartanburg District Five incorporated the Panorama survey in the 2020-2021 school year that addresses our student’s social emotional needs. The surveys capture our student voice by measuring student perceptions and gathers feedback from students about their classroom experience.
-In addition to the support provided through our School Counselor, our classroom teachers will be dedicating time during the day called “Community Time” to work with their students on character development lessons and social emotional learning.
