At LAAAE, we want an Advisory curriculum that is created by the community, for the community. It changes year to year based on community needs and desires. As a school who just transitioned to in-person learning after a year and a half of being in distance learning there is currently a high need for youth to develop SEL competencies in all 5 areas of the CASEL framework. To ensure we give our students the best support possible we seek to create an SEL advisory committee that consists of various members of our school community (counselor, students, teachers and parents). The committee will work together to identify needs of students and based on those needs build SEL advisory content. By incorporating various stakeholders we seek to incorporate the 5 elements of CASEL from different paradigms. An SEL Advisory curriculum will have lasting impact, as students are learning important life skills often overlooked in other classes. Although it is the expectation, there is little to no time to teach students self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.In addition to teaching students soft skills, it is also a class where students get to take a break from dense, content-heavy curriculums and build community within the class and throughout the school. To complement the curriculum we would also implement field trips with r team building activities that promote increased feelings of tolerance and social perspective taking (beach day, museum, etc.).
