ImpactNC with your gift today!
Friends of Oesterle Library invite you to support our mission to provide student teachers with access to high-quality children’s literature on Social Emotional Learning.
What is Social Emotional Learning?
One of the Illinois Learning Standards for K-12 students, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process of learning social and emotional skills that are key to healthy relationships and sound decision making. Children’s books can support students’ SEL by providing safe spaces to explore realistic situations and big feelings while learning the vocabulary and tools needed for emotion management, conflict resolution, and resiliency.
Why are SEL books and materials needed?
Students at NC will be the teachers of the next generation. Your donation will #ImpactNC by helping place current, high-quality children’s literature in the hands of future teachers, building their capacity to support the SEL of the next generation.
How will my donation be used?
• $10 will buy a picture book
• $20 will buy a book for preteens
• $30 will buy an SEL activity set
• $50 will buy a professional text
