[Doe_school_social_workers] March 8th - International Social Emotional Learning Day

[Rautiola, Kenneth A]

Good Afternoon, in preparation for the 4th Annual Social Emotional Learning Day I wanted to share the attached DOE Newsroom release.  As a school social workers, you and/or staff in your school, work hard to provide social emotional learning activities, instruction, and curriculum integration to support student growth. As DOE prepares to celebrate this hard work and your investment in your students, we are asking you to share your SEL highlights during the school year and beyond and/or share your school’s 2024 SEL Day activities and initiatives by filling out this form<https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=q6g_QX0gYkubzeoajy-GToyaO3s3hrFNrlzmZRvWHeZUOURZRFlCTExVUzhaUUpOTkZUTDVGTjFIVS4u>.


Submissions received from this form will help Maine come together as a state to recognize the amazing work of Maine schools at a national level to be included on the SEL4US Leader Board<https://selday.org/leaderboard/>. Together, let’s make Maine a shining example of SEL excellence!

You can also share your #SELdayME2024 highlights during the week of March 8th by posting to your school’s social media and tagging Maine DOE, using #SELday or #SELdayME2024 and tag the Maine DOE at @MaineDepartmentofEducation1 on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/MaineDepartmentofEducation1> and @mainedepted on Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/mainedepted>.
