Partnership Spotlight
Jefferson Parish Schools | Social-Emotional Learning
Jefferson Parish Schools (JP Schools) is excited to partner with the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE) to enhance and align our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives. JP Schools’ partnership with ICLE will support district leaders in creating a common mission, vision and strategic plan for SEL while keeping in mind the unique culture and needs of each individual school. This will ensure a common definition of SEL that will guide each school in developing a specific plan to support students for success in school and in life.
Through this partnership, we hope to achieve a clear vision for SEL in JP Schools. We hope that this will be both a head and heart driven strategic plan that will support all students and staff in collaboration with families and community partners.
Venola Mason has been a tremendous thought partner for the district in our SEL work. Her experience and knowledge have been invaluable as we develop our short, medium, and long-term goals for SEL. Venola is accessible and willing to engage in the details with our leadership team. The district is appreciative of our partnership with ICLE and Venola and we look forward to the impact this partnership will have on the staff and students in JP Schools.
