At Westpark, our counseling program works diligently to meet the social and emotional needs of all students. We will develop self awareness and self management skills to achieve school and life success, use social awareness and relationship skills to establish and maintain positive relationships, and demonstrate positive relationship making skills in personal, school and community settings. Each classroom provides direct social and emotional instruction (SEL) using the Second Step curriculum. Second Step aligns with IUSD's SEL Standards and the CASEL 5 Core Competencies, Self- Awareness, Self- Management, Social Awareness, Relationships Skills, and Responsible Decision Making. In addition to classroom lessons, students can also participate in smaller group support such as Lunch Bunch, Joyful Heart Joyful Mind, E.A.G.L.E. Club, and many other opportunities during the school day!
