Kohlberg Elementary Newletter
Week of 1-20-25
This week our students will given an NWEA MAP assessment. NWEA MAP Growth is a nationally normed, standardized achievement test. NWEA tests are important to teachers because they help to keep track of student progress and growth in basic skills. Kohlberg Elementary teachers and staff will use this information to help guide instruction in the classroom and targeted intervention.
Hoping everyone stays warm and safe this week.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Growing in Emotional Intelligence
All of the lessons that I do each month are designed to help our students grow in the five SEL Competencies. There is quite a bit of research that shows the link between strong SEL skills and high academic achievement.
See the image below of the SEL Competencies Wheel.
They are color coded. Self-awareness and self-management are how we understand and control ourselves. Social awareness and relationship skills are about how we understand and relate to others. Responsible decision-making involves both personal and social areas, because our decisions affect us personally and can also affect others.
