Our Student Support Team works to develop our social emotional learning (SEL) model so that all students receive explicit social emotional support individualized to their needs. Students develop non-academic skills in and out of the classroom that will help them make positive choices, support their continued development and navigate postsecondary life through the following domains: Self-awareness, Self-management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision Making.
HUM IV also offers the NYS Seal of Civics. HUM IV ensures its courses engage students in civic knowledge and civic participation to be awarded the seal. Students are awarded the seal of civics by earning points for the different opportunities and endeavors they engage in at HUM IV related to civic and community engagement.
