Habits of Character
Social-Emotional Learning Focus
Central to EL Education’s curriculum is a focus on “habits of character” and social-emotional learning. Students work to become effective learners, developing mindsets and skills for success in college, career, and life (e.g., initiative, responsibility, perseverance, collaboration); work to become ethical people, treating others well and standing up for what is right (e.g., empathy, integrity, respect, compassion); and work to contribute to a better world, putting their learning to use to improve communities (e.g., citizenship, service).
In this module, students work to become ethical people by showing empathy and compassion through giving feedback. Students also work to become effective learners by showing perseverance to create high-quality work.
