Social-Emotional Learning | Julie Billiart Schools

Social and emotional growth is equally as important as academic success. Our students are intentionally taught the skills needed to build relationships, navigate challenges, advocate for themselves, and become confident members of their school and community.

Social and emotional learning is embedded throughout the school day and reinforced across classrooms, small groups, and specialized services:

Zones of Regulation™️

Students identify emotions, understand their feelings, and develop self-regulation strategies.

Social skills lessons

Led by Speech-language therapists at every grade level, providing direct instruction in communication, friendship, and social problem-solving.

Social Thinking™️

Strategies to help students understand social expectations, perspective-taking, flexible thinking, and social awareness.

Small-group academic instruction
