About Our School

Culturally Responsive S.E.L.

Strengthening the social and emotional abilities of our students is essential to the foundation of learning and the development of the whole child. Social-emotional learning can positively impact and affect academic performance, relationships with others, development of self-esteem and the ability to manage mental health. Students who develop strong SEL skills will be positioned to effectively manage themselves, their relationships, and their ability to contribute to their families, schools, and communities.  

Culturally Responsive S.E.L. is developed at A.H.P. Matthew through:

• Explicit lessons targeting skills 
• Integrated into curricular areas to strengthen academic achievement
• Creating environments that are supportive, inclusive and nurture a child’s strengths, interests, and backgrounds
• Support for Staff including Professional Development and commitment to principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion

• School-wide initiatives that create community, shared language, and values
