Hello Insight:

Elementary SEL

For young people Ages 8 – 11

Young people have a lot to learn — don’t let soft skills get lost in the shuffle.

The elementary ages are a time of intense learning and growth. The more they take in, the more young people ages 8 to 11 are able to understand the world around them. Make the most of this developmental stage with Hello Insight: Elementary SEL. Social and emotional learning, or SEL, is the process of developing the “soft skills” young people need to get along as they grow up: to manage themselves as they engage with the world; build and maintain relationships; and treat setbacks and challenges as learning experiences to prompt growth.

Use Hello Insight: Elementary SEL to ensure young people have the tools to thrive in middle school and beyond.

Capacities

SEL is a continuous, ongoing process in young people that involves developing many skills and attributes that are closely related, but distinct enough to be measured on their own. We call these “capacities.” Hello Insight: Elementary SEL reports on key SEL capacities at an age-appropriate level.

A young person's internal sense of who they are and their multiple identities, involving building self-esteem, exploration and commitment of self-definition, fostering role formation, and achievement

Social Skills

The ability of a young person to take others’ perspectives into account, develop a sense of caring, and empathy

A young person's internal motivation to acquire knowledge and skills, which can help in learning from failure, increasing resilience, and performing academically

Experiences

Everything that young people see, think, hear, do and feel is fuel for SEL, but a few key types of experiences are especially effective at boosting SEL growth. We use advanced analytics to predict which of those experiences will best promote growth in each group of young people in your program.

Goal Management

Plan activities to give young people the chance to practice setting goals, breaking them down into smaller tasks, develop plans of action, and adjust them as necessary.

Peer-to-Peer Engagement

Encourage young people to work with and learn about others with differing backgrounds and perspectives. Promote teamwork, group cohesion, and problem solving.

Interest Exploration

Provide opportunities for young people to explore potential interests, try new things, broaden their horizons, and take risks in a safe space.

Prioritizing Youth

Build meaningful relationships by prioritizing young people: set high expectations for them and invite them to share their unique experiences and passions with the program.
