SOCIO-EMOTIONAL LEARNING : MORNING MEETING IN K
During our recent in-service day, faculty received training on The Morning Meeting, a key component of the Responsive Classroom program. This initiative is part of the Lycee’s SEL program being introduced across all grade levels this year. The Morning Meeting protocols help students connect each morning while integrating elements of the social-emotional learning curriculum alongside academic content. Here's an exemple of a morning meeting in Kindergarten, on the ASH campus.
