The SEQuity Framework

Mamaroneck’s Commitment to Social and Emotional Learning and Equity Education

The Mamaroneck School District is committed to nurturing the social, emotional, and inner lives of our students. We recognize that when we strengthen emotional intelligence and capacities for self-awareness, and when children are better able to self regulate and interact with others, there is greater availability for learning.

We seek to create an inclusive learning community in which individuals of every race, class, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, and physical ability feel seen, heard, and valued. We also seek to teach our students to detect and confront biases and prejudices.

Recognizing the crucial interconnection between minds and hearts, we commit to foster the skills that enable our children to become aware, compassionate, thoughtful, balanced, proactive and responsible citizens.

To these ends, the district has developed the SEQuity Framework that makes explicit the connections between developing individual social and emotional skills and fostering the dignity and belonging of all.
