Teaching Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Lessons

SSIS (Social Skills Improvement System) 

A partially-scripted program used to support students’ transition to secondary school and supported by a psychometric assessment of student needs.

Seven Character Strengths 

An integrated approached used to foster positive relationships, wellbeing, and resilience by teaching students how to recognise their personal strengths.
