We pair our standards-based academics program with social and emotional learning (SEL) activities that help scholars learn concepts and build skills so they can thrive inside and outside of school.<\/p>\n
Milwaukee Public Schools uses the Second Step SEL curriculum for students from K4 through eighth grade. Browning School scholars participate in weekly lessons that involve videos, activities, instruction, and practice of social and emotional skills like:<\/p>\n
Our families have access to Second Step curriculum and other resources that support healthy social and emotional development.<\/p>\n
STEM lessons and activities in our gardens and greenhouse<\/a> show scholars how to care for our environment. Social and emotional lessons show them how time in nature promotes calm and creativity.<\/p>\n Our community learns together through Milwaukee Public Schools Restorative Practices Program<\/a>.\u202f Respectful, problem-solving communication techniques are taught in school. Parents and community partners learn and use these practices in school meetings and events.<\/p>\n When scholars experience heightened emotions, they have access to a sensory\/regulation room. Staff guide scholars through identifying and rating their emotions, practicing emotion regulation techniques, and evaluating their feelings after using strategies like deep breathing or counting. Scholars then return to the classroom.<\/p>\n The Browning School student support team<\/a> includes a psychologist, social worker, counselor, and trauma support specialist.<\/p>\n Schools across the district and the country use the PBIS framework to identify, communicate, and reward behaviors that contribute to a safe and welcoming school culture. Our staff and students work together to promote PBIS expectations at Browning School:<\/p>\n Ask your scholar about FLY. That\u2019s PBIS speak for:<\/p>\n We review and revise PBIS best practices and focus areas every month based on academic, attendance, and behavior data.<\/p>\n Clear communication and shared values can bring people from diverse backgrounds together to set and achieve goals peacefully and respectfully.\u00a0Please join us in this work. Caregivers and community members contribute to discussions and decision-making that puts our students first when they attend meetings of the Community School Leadership Team (CSLT) and Family Leadership Organization (FLO) at Browning School.<\/p>\n Using restorative practices in these meetings is changing how Milwaukee Community Schools Partnership members connect with their students, families, and the community. This leads to positive school culture, trust, and high-quality teaching.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Browning School, we understand children do better academically when they feel safe and secure in class, at home, and with friends and classmates.
