Biased Language SEL Lessons: Grades 5-8

This week, the targeted SEL lessons about biased language will come to a close in grades 5-8. Our students experienced a series of lessons led by the mental health providers and the classroom teachers to understand how words can hurt, help, and heal. Your child is now able to understand:

There are different ways we convey biased language
Examples of biased language (and how it is different from name-calling)
Why do people use biased language
The impact of biased language and what they can do about it
