Declaration Notice
At Glenrich School Dhaka, we have always given paramount importance to the overall physical and psychological well-being of our students. With this continuing effort, it is our great pleasure to announce that we are bringing in iAmMotherly SEL LAB to our school for students who are aged between 6-12 years old.
iAmMotherly SEL LAB is a continuous research backed effort of iAmMotherly under the United Nations SDG Goal 4.7, to adopt Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs in Bangladeshi Schools.
Social emotional learning (SEL) is a methodology that helps students of all ages to better comprehend their emotions, to feel those emotions fully, and demonstrate empathy for others. These learned behaviors are then used to help students make positive, responsible decisions; create frameworks to achieve their goals, and build positive relationships with others.
Research shows that social-emotional skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, self-regulation, impulse control, empathy etc., help improve academic results, equip students with essential 21st century skills, reduce negative social behaviors like bullying, and create a positive classroom environment. Advanced countries around the world have already incorporated SEL in their regular curriculum.
Through iSEL LAB, iAmMotherly will be providing global standard SEL curriculum for our students as well as specialized trainings for our teachers who teach students whose age range from 6-12 years. Parents will also get access to a lot of workshops, seminars organized by iAmMotherly.
It is our belief that this initiative will equip our school with the skills necessary to develop socially and emotionally competent students, equipped to perform better in every aspect of life.
What Parents need to do:
We will be starting the implementation of the program from start of November. Before that, we need all parents who have 6-12 years old children to take part in the Baseline EQ Assessment designed by iAmMotherly. This will ensure we understand where our children are in terms of their emotional & logical brain development and put more focus where needed. We will be having follow-up assessments every quarter.
In phase 1, we are implementing this program for the students of Grade 1 – Grade 5. All students taking part in the Baseline assessment and the follow-up assessments during the academic year, will get a Participatory Certificate from iAmMotherly at the end of the Academic year for being a pupil of the SEL LAB initiative.
