BCPS is committed to the academic success, and the physical, social and psychological well-being of every one of our students.

Mission:
The Department of Social Emotional Support centers people through connectedness and trusting relationships and commits to fostering a caring and compassionate community. We provide equitable access to impactful services and programs that promote students’ academic, behavioral, social, emotional, and physical development in preparation for college, career and life readiness.

            


BCPS has adopted the CASEL model for social emotional learning. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, and feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
