ALLSTATE FOUNDATION VIEW SEL AS HOLISTIC APPROACH - 45 MILLION GIVEN TO CASEL "SEL MOVEMENT"

 

"Tips for Talking to Doctor about Mental Health" by National Institutes of Health (NIH) is marked with CC PDM 1.0

Practicing Holistic Medicine Without a License?

Wasn't mental health a discussion with your primary doctor?  

National Institutes of Health gives you tips on taking care of your mental health.

CASEL started out as a "Movement" and they also mention "In the Home". CASEL Targeted 8 Urban School Districts, such as Cleveland, Ohio and 7 other States. Social Emotional learning was not tailored for all children just Minority children and CASEL was a Social Movement. 

ALLSTATE Foundation says SEL is a Holistic view of learning (Mental & Social Factors) Isn't that what SEL is all about being a Psychologist; a Mental Health Facilitator in the School system? Don't you talk with your doctor about mental health issues if your child seems to have emotional problems? Parents are leaving it up to a Teachers to teach Social Emotional Learning and placing Critical Race Theory as a tool of learning that the person sitting next to you is different and something is wrong with you! isn't that Psychological abuse?

A holistic approach means to provide support that looks at the whole person, not just their mental health needs. The support should also consider their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.  A holistic approach focusses on a person's wellness and not just their illness or condition. https://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/what-is-holistic-medicine

Now basic training manual to teachers without a license to practice medicine a young childs mind, thoughts, fears, emotions? How many teachers feeling overwhelmed? Now they have to practice being Psychologist without a license?  I think parents should start talking to their primary care doctors and get a doctor's note that your child doesn't need Social Emotional Learning and to tell the school they do not practice medicine without a license and are not a Medical facility and leave it to the REAL Psychologist!

What are the ramifications if the program doesn't go well and a child takes his or her own life? Will the Teacher be removed and Sued? Will there be a cover up? To enforce Social Emotional Learning on a child who is well adjusted and to make the small child believe because the color of your skin that he or she did something to another person is PYSCHOLOGICAL ABUSE and a LIE being told to that small child and might have a horrible impact on that small child. 

There was a incident in Perry, Ohio where 6 kids kill themselves within months of each other and you will never get a straight answer from that Board of Education. "The Home of The Panthers" CDC in Stark County to review youth suicides connected with Perry Local Schools. Suicide Epidemic!  

"How to Sell Manual" to get into every school in the nation and taking Social Emotional Learning and implementing with Critical Race Theory because the program wasn't developed for Emotional Stable Children. They have used tactics on every part of the Society in America like using the police as a cause to say the police cause children to be emotional unstable and on the other hand they say Safe Haven then blame the police, that is called "Double Speak." Trickery.

Cleveland, Ohio School District.

Teachers and principals said that building supportive school environments and nurturing so-called "soft skills" can be challenging in high-poverty districts like Cleveland, where all students receive free and reduced-price lunches. Situations outside of school—often related to poverty, crime, or community conflicts—can make it difficult for students to focus in the classroom, teachers said. 

The city's police department has been singled out by the U.S. Department of Justice for using overly aggressive tactics, leading to a sense of distrust in low-income and predominantly African-American communities. Last November, a Cleveland police officer shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who had been a student in the district. That shooting, along with events in Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., have sparked national conversations about race and the limits of police power.    See other states Here

As shown on CASEL webpage in 2016 - "JOIN THE MOVEMENT" in 2016 it was critical for parents to join the movement in the 8 Urban School Districts.

Britannica Shows: social movement, a loosely organized but sustained campaign in support of a social goal, typically either the implementation or the prevention of a change in society’s structure or values.

From CASEL Webpage: Social and emotional learning starts at home. Parents and families are critical partners in helping their children develop social and emotional know-how. They can model the kinds of skills, attitudes, and behaviors we want all students to master. And they can be important advocates for SEL at school.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

Opinion:

As a parent can you look at your child right now and ask: is your community safer now then say 2 years ago? Is your child an Emotional wreck from the Community you live in or from what the schools as been teaching them?  Was that the intent after-all?

 Defund the police, social reform on children, one way of thinking? I think you know the answers to the above questions. It was tailored only to one side and it is far from what is called "Equity" - Fair or Just. It's Psychological Care for the minority and Critical Race Theory is your Whiteness has held the minority back and the White people in the United States Of America is at fault.

Money Is Flowing to Social-Emotional Learning: Allstate Foundation Dedicates $45 Million

Oct. 17, 2018

An ambitious plan to contribute $45 million to social-emotional learning initiatives over the next five years was announced by the Allstate Foundation today.

The nonprofit, which is offering programs to public and private schools, as well as to parents and students directly, said it expects to reach 25 percent of the nation’s youth with its social-emotional learning offerings by 2022. The organization has already invested $22 million since 2015, when it began to focus on this aspect of student development.

“We feel this is such a critical time to have this information and action taking place that raises awareness, so state legislatures can support SEL,” said Laura Freveletti, senior manager for the Allstate Foundation, in a phone interview.

The funding is primarily going to nonprofit partners for direct programming for youth, she said.  The initiative was launched after a survey of insurance consumers identified “issues in education as their #1 concern,” said Freveletti.

The foundation’s subsequent analysis examined what could make a major impact on students’ success, with a primary focus on 10- to 18-year-olds, but also for elementary students. The result was an emphasis on social-emotional learning, and the multi-faceted Good Starts Young program, which supports organizations and sponsors causes designed to improve the lives of young people.

Underpinning Allstate’s efforts are the five competencies that the Chicago-based Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning, or CASEL, emphasizes in its definition of social-emotional learning: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decisionmaking. The foundation supports CASEL’s work on the following sites: Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL) Resources for Educators, and CASEL SEL in the Home.

Social-emotional learning is a growing priority for many schools. EdWeek Market Brief recently published exclusive survey data showing that the vast majority of K-12 districts have invested in SEL, or will do so over the coming year. And my colleague Evie Blad recently wrote for Education Week about 10 large school districts that are partnering with CASEL to implement comprehensive social-emotional-learning strategies and to allow researchers to study their results.

Another initiative is called WE Schools, which offers a four-step program delivered by educational partners in 12,300 schools and groups across North America and the U.K. It is designed to challenge young people to identify the local and global issues that interest them and offers tools to help them take action. Educator resources are also available.
