The SEL Blog
Art teacher Nancy Holter will engage Baltimore Patterson High School students in arts-integrated SEL instruction during Out-of-School Time, improving youth’s learning environment and community connectedness. Fully 77% of Patterson’s 1,103 students are from low-income households yet are otherwise remarkably diverse, representing 37 different countries and 20 languages (37.9% English language learner)—many are from refugee families persecuted for political, racial or religious reasons in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Ms. Holter and the nonprofit partner Building Arts and Minds will reach newcomers, students with disabilities, gender-questioning youth, hard-to-reach youth and youth experiencing trauma and PTSD using the creative arts.
