Social Emotional Ecosystem

It is critical to design and implement responsive systems that address all four components of the social emotional ecosystem to ensure the social, emotional, and academic development of every student.

These four outcome areas comprise the four rings of the social emotional ecosystem that anchors the Youth Connections work.

Ensuring that families are actively engaged in the design and implementation of the school’s social emotional vision

Empowering diverse student voice and authentic student-adult partnerships

Building a multi-tiered system of supports for students and staff who are struggling

Creating learning environments that are psychologically safe and relationship rich, particularly for students who experience the greatest barriers to connection
