Success & Wellness Funds Plan

Imagine Leadership Academy - FY 2023-2024

GENERAL USE DESCRIPTION

Describe generally how the School will use the funds. (What are the goals/objectives the School expects to achieve?)
According to our Student Character Development Survey results, Imagine Leadership Academy has identified areas of focus for the 23-24. Our Social-Emotional Learning Course will provide students with practical life skills and lessons to help them succeed. The curriculum will cover various topics, from self-esteem and self-awareness to emotional awareness, healthy peer relationships, and conflict resolution. We firmly believe that the implementation of this curriculum will lead to significant improvements in the overall climate and culture of our building.

Throughout the school year, both current and incoming students will receive ongoing training through a tailored SEL framework taught by our dedicated SEL teacher. Our goal is to promote respect and positive behaviors in all relationships. We will monitor progress through conversations, surveys, and referrals. Our CSLT, consisting of parents, classroom teachers, and administrators, collaborated to determine the best way to provide Social-Emotional Learning to our students. As a result, we have hired a Social-Emotional Learning Teacher whose primary focus will be to provide SEL classes to every student daily. These classes will assist students with their emotions, mental health, and social routines.
