The purpose of this school improvement plan was designed based on the need of social-emotional learning in an elementary school. Students and teachers at Woodrow Wilson Elementary in Newton, Iowa have identified classroom environment components that need improvement through social-emotional learning. Research shows that providing either an intervention or program that helps develop social and emotional skills in students can improve behaviors, attitudes, relationships, safety, and academic performance. A social-emotional learning program is implemented in this plan to help students develop these skills and to improve the learning environment.
