Sullivan High School Biology students extract their DNA and wear it on a necklace! They also made slides to observe a leaf’s stomata. Great stuff!
Educators from Atlanta, Georgia, visited at least two Chicago Public Schools last week. They were here to observe and learn from the Social Emotional programming at both Sullivan High School and Garvey Elementary.
The top two pictures are from Sullivan and the bottom two are from Garvey. All of the pictures above reflect aspects of each of their individual SEL programs. The visitors collected these ideas as examples of possible goals for themselves as they design their own SEL program. Looks like they had a great day!
Nice blog from Umoja’s Social Emotional Learning Specialist at Sullivan High School, Jen Ciok. She explains the “unique first week Sullivan students are experiencing - where the school has chosen to start the year off by building community within the school before anyone even opens a textbook.”
For the second year in a row, I had the privilege of supporting the Sullivan staff and students in what is called “Connections Week.” During this week, the teachers suspend their "regular" academic curriculum to do community building lessons from the Umoja curriculum focusing on Sullivan's core values of Family, Integrity, Service and Tenacity.The goal is to start building the social-emotional capacity of students from day one to ensure that all students know that the staff cares about them as people and want them to succeed. For you see, this is not something just for incoming freshmen; but all students from ninth to twelfth grade are engaged in this learning. Activities during the week included community building circles, sharing goals for the future, writing letters of gratitude, recognizing their advocates and learning how to advocate, and creating class chants. They learned how attendance predicts success, organizational strategies, how to calculate GPA, and got a tour of the school. Students were charged to think about success not only in terms of academics, but also in being involved, serving others, and being their best selves.
Way to participate and advocate, Sullivan High School!
Mikva Challenge’s Facebook page shared this link to Alderman Joe Moore’s 2016 Participatory Budgeting Election Results with this message:
So proud of Mikva youth at Sullivan High School whose project of adding more lights to the alleys around school won the second highest votes in the 49th ward! They also contributed to record high turnout this year!
Sullivan High School youth leaders leading a healthy relationships workshop!
Love!
