Move This World

Social emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children andadults acquire and applythe skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achievegoals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships and makeresponsible decisions. The initiatives we have selected willcontinue to contribute to a strong schoolculture in which all students feel safe, supported and valued.

Move This World Logo

This year we will be using Move This World as our foundational social emotional learning program. MoveThis World uses fun and engaging videos to teach core social emotional skills and will help your childdevelop the confidence to express their feelings authentically, manage their emotions healthily andnavigate challenges successfully.

Student Account Getting Started Guide

Your child will watch and engage with short interactive videos at the beginning of the school day, virtually or in-person. Each video is tied to a core social emotional learning competency, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making skills.

What you can expect:

  • As the year progresses, you can expect and encourage your child to carry the skills they willlearn through MoveThis World at home. They might begin to ask you some questions abouthow you鈥檙e feeling or how you managestress (and they might even offer you some suggestions,too!)
  • You鈥檒l hear your child use Move This World vocabulary, such as: the 10听Emogers听(emotionalmanagementstrategies), the Emotional Building Blocks (vocabulary words focused emotions) orthe Positive Pivot Scale (aframework used to respond to challenges).
  • You might see your child experimenting with new ways to express themselves, setting new andambitious goals for themselves or developing听a new vocabulary around their emotions.

The Mood Meter

The mood meter is a tool that we use to support our students in identifying and expressing their emotions. We believe that when students are able to identify emotions, they can then learn to manage them. In class each day (virtual or in-person), your child will have an opportunity to share with their teacher and classmates how they feel using the mood meter.
