We owe it to the next generation to develop their emotional intelligence in order for them to become well rounded members of society - not only focus on technical knowledge such as math, science, and history. Many teachers have expressed that the development of "The Whole Child" is what motivated them to enter the profession.
With this mission in mind, the State of Ohio rolled out their new 2019-24 Strategic Plan for Education, focusing on "The Whole Child." One of their tactics was to add a new learning domain: Social Emotional Learning.
In a similar fashion driven by the culture of today's society, a movement was formed called Trauma-Informed Care. This provides a support system pushing a paradigm shift from, "What is wrong with the individual?" to "What has happened to cause this behavior?"

SOCIAl emotional learning
An Important Focus for Schools to Raise a Healthy Generation of Children.
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the new learning domain in the 2019-24 Ohio Strategic Plan for Education. It has five key areas that focus on improving emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Unfortunately since the early 2000’s policies have primarily focused on labeling the success of students and schools on standardized tests. For this reason schools have lost sight of developing the social needs of children. Ensuring that time is spent focusing on a students psychological needs is essential to a quality education. Every child needs to learn how to recognize and respond to their feelings so that they are not overwhelmed by emotions that they are feeling for the first time. This will support skills in problem solving and conflict-resolution.

Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is an outlook and approach that considers how an individual is likely to have a history of trauma. TIC recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role it may play in their life. TIC provides accessible support services in an appropriate and informed manner to those who have experienced trauma.
In regards to an organization, TIC builds systems and cultures to impact respect and appropriate response to the effects of trauma at all levels. Protocols are constructed as a precautionary measure in all service responses.
The Five Guiding Principles are safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness and empowerment.
