Partnering to Support the Whole Child

PT Chat is proud to announce that we have fully integrated Social Emotional Learning into the Support Student Learning section of our mobile app. With this addition, parents will receive monthly tips and strategies to support student learning in math and reading, along with social emotional skills to help students effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary to maintain positive relationships and make responsible decisions. We pledge to support parents by providing them with information to help their child manage emotions, set positive goals and show empathy for others.

Core Social Emotional Learning Components:

1. Self-Awareness: A child’s realistic understanding of his/her strengths and limitations and consistent desire for self-improvement.

2. Self-Management: A child’s success in controlling his or her emotions and behaviors, to complete a task or succeed in a new or challenging situation.

3. Social Awareness: A child’s capacity to interact with others in a way that shows respect for their ideas and behaviors, recognizes her/his impact on them, and uses cooperation and tolerance in social situations.

4. Relationship Skills: A child’s consistent performance of socially acceptable actions that promote and maintain positive connections with others.

5. Decision Making: A child’s approach to problem solving that involves learning from others and from her/his own previous experiences, using her/his values to guide her/his action, and accepting responsibility for her/his decisions.
