Welcome to the School on Wheels Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Program! We hope you and your student enjoy these activities as you get to know each other (or know each other better)!

Our SEL Program is designed to provide you with fun activities using a combination of SEL and traditional academics like English Language Arts. Activity packets are designed to be completed in three tutoring sessions and adaptable to all grade levels. 

Along with learning about each other, our SEL activities include strategies that can help us calm down, focus, or cope with nerves before a big test. As you complete these activities, make note of any parts that are especially fun or feel helpful so you can practice more during future tutoring sessions!

To navigate the program follow these steps:

Step 1: During your next tutoring session, spend time together exploring the social and emotional traits and accompanying activities to choose the one you will want to work on together.

Step 2: Fill out the enrollment form to choose your SEL trait. 

Step 3: Check your email for a message from SEL@schoolonwheels.org with a link to your set of activities. 

Step 4: Complete the activities over your next 3 tutoring sessions.

Step 5: Fill out the completion form at the end of your selected activities. You are welcome to come back to this page to sign up for a new trait after that!
