Habits of Character
Social-Emotional Learning Focus
Central to the EL Education 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 unit, students focus on respect, empathy, and collaboration as they respond to one another’s ideas and skills in written work and in discussions. They also look for evidence of perseverance and integrity demonstrated by characters in the text and by themselves in the classroom.
