The Social-Emotional Learning Hub For Black People
Lakeview

Students were asked how frequently they felt insecure and how frequently they thought others around them did too.
41.8% of students said they experienced occasional or daily struggles with their confidence.
Students were asked to share the SEL skills they saw being displayed in their school.
The top three skills students cited were self-awareness (23.8%), responsible decisionmaking (21.7%), and self-management (21.0%). Almost half of the students (45.6%) said they would like to see all SEL competencies demonstrated in their schools, followed by social awareness competencies (17.7%) and self-management competencies (15.2%).
Students were then asked to share the SEL skills they saw being displayed in their homes.
All of the competencies (18.0%), making responsible decisions (17.3%), and self-management (15.8%) were the top three competencies that students observed being demonstrated in their households.
When we asked the students if they loved going to school
Only 10.1% of students strongly agreed, and 15.2% of students said they felt good about themselves while at school.
To help the teachers learn more about their class, students were asked about their preferred methods of learning.
Almost a third of students (30.4%) indicated that they were visual learners who enjoyed watching videos and movies on YouTube, and 21.5% of students indicated that they were tactile/kinetic learners. Additionally, students shared that when they are engaging in hands-on learning rather than merely sitting and listening, school may be enjoyable. Students also said that hanging out with friends, participating in group activities, and snacking in class are additional ways that school can be enjoyable.
Clayton: Less Talk More SEL
Dangers of the Mind hosted the Less Talk More SEL Series with Clayton County
Public Schools. In the workshop Self-Awareness is the New Bag: Who Am I?,
participants learned about one of the five SEL Competencies, Self-Awareness, and how to transform unproductive beliefs and actions into behaviors that would improve performance both personally and professionally.

With 12 of the participants having completed either Session #1: ReSELience: Owning the Power Of Your Story through Social-Emotional Learning or Session #2: Secure the Bag: SEL in Colleges and Careers, some workshop attendees were returning series participants.
