This blog introduces the first systematic and long-term social and emotional learning (SEL) program tailored to the needs and realities of Slovak schools—Emocionálny Kompas (Emotional Compass). It shows its journey and success and gives links to further resources, which are freely available (in Slovak).
“Our current work entails developing teacher books and a learning platform with ready-made materials and activities for every grade to support the highest number of teachers possible. Teachers tell us stories about success implementing strategies such as those related to anger management. Others have also reported moving stories of how the program has helped their students with processing difficult feelings like grief and sadness.”
