WELLNESS
Social Emotional Learning
and Well-being
Overall, to what extent does your child's
section at the American School of
Guatemala demonstrate care about the
emotional and social well-being of your
child?
Feedback we have received throughout the school year
reports that teacher relationships impact how parents
and students feel about their school. This is no surprise.
We are proud that CAG teachers are the heart of the
CAG experience, so making sure we continue to
develop intentional opportunities that help shape the
student experience where teachers have time to build
connections, serve as advisors and mentors is
important. We have also heard from parents and
students that developing a contextual PreK-12
character education program will help to better define
VIDAS in ways that is meaningful and enduring for our
students and alumni.
As response to this feedback, for 2018-19, CAG will
Establish an advisory program
Extend the concept of Responsive Classroom in EC & ES
Reserve time in MS & HS student schedules for students
to work with faculty mentors
Re-introduce health education in MS
Overall, to what extent do the teachers of
your child meet your expectation for
qualified professional educators?
CAG will commit to offering students greater
opportunity to embody mission through school culture.
As research confirms, schools have more meaningful
impact that provide contextual student life programs
such as advisory, health education, service-learning,
coupled with an academic program that is both collegeprep
and diverse so students can explore interests.
Survey data was then grouped (0-6= detractors represented in red), (7-8 = passives represented in yellow),
(9-10 = promoters represented in green), N/A = not applicable in order to better understand the trends per
thematic cluster of questions.
