5 Social Emotional School Lessons

"Do it!" they said. "You'll do great and you're so good at connecting with the kids." I was pumped up to be a Social Emotional School Counselor. I had visions of helping kids and teachers better understand themselves and their emotions. But as I approach the end of my first year as a SESC I don't know that I really have accomplished either of these aspirations. I do know that amidst my hard work, the emotional drain and the wonderful glimpses of forward movement I have learned a few lessons. So today I'd like to share 5 of those lessons with you in the hopes that you can better understand what a SESC really does.
