Social Emotional Learning Classroom Workbook – Grade 11 (2nd Edition)

What Is the 11th Grade Social Emotional Learning Classroom Workbook?

The Social Emotional Learning Classroom Workbook – Grade 11, 2nd Edition is a 152-page, spiral-bound student workbook from Seltrove Education. It gives eleventh graders (ages 16–17) a full school year of social and emotional learning focused on college, career and independence. Organized into four 10-week themes, Identity & Mindset, Courage & Kindness, A Place to Belong, and A Healthy Well-Being, its weekly lessons help students understand the spotlight effect, manage emotions, explore college and career options, write personal statements, practice interview skills, build cultural competency, confront prejudice, manage stress, budget and handle money, and navigate growing independence. Each theme closes with a Review Week, students set junior year goals and check in on them every theme, and the year ends with a resume builder and a junior-year look back. “Your Superpowers” assessments at the start, middle and end of the year show each student’s growth. The skills it builds are core competencies in your district’s Portrait of a Graduate.
