Respecting Differences: SEL Lessons for Citizenship
When We Respect Each Other, We Become Better Citizens
On September 18 – National Respect Day – we celebrate something that is more than just politeness. Respect is a foundation for social-emotional learning (SEL), a bridge across differences, and a key habit in building good citizenship. At Braintree Academy, we believe that teaching respect—even when opinions differ—helps students grow in empathy, communication, and responsibility.
