In today's episode you'll get to "meet" Matthew Jones, a dynamic educator who I am lucky enough to work with at St. Cecilia. Mr. Jones is the writing teacher for Grades 6, 7, and 8 in our school and he is also fills the role of grade level coordinator for middle school and is the co-facilitator for the Curriculum and Instruction Committee. Whew, that's a lot! 

As all educators know, we wear multiple hats throughout the day and teachers are no exception. For this episode, Matt talks about the importance of social-emotional learning (SEL) and valuable building relationships is with students. Definitely one of his strongest skills, Matt builds SEL into his every day and every class period with students. The Archdiocese of Omaha is currently implementing SEL into all of their schools and we are fortunate to be a part of this ride with them. 

You'll love listening to Matt and I'm hopeful you'll walk away knowing that here at St. Cecilia, community and relationships are our top priority. For more, follow me on Twitter or stay connected on my blog. Heads down, Prayers up!
