Spectrum Innovates Pathway Program: SEL Process
![](local/data/caches/images/scaled/img_00030556_300x300.jpg)
Program Description
The Spectrum Innovates Pathway Program program (SIPP) was created to "address the autistic community's employment crisis and the forecast[ed] shortage of technicians in the aeronautics industry over the next twenty years." SIPP is a "prototypal transition pathway program for those on the autism spectrum who share a common passion for aeronautics." The primary goals of this program are to prepare students for success in higher education and to enter the workforce in advanced technician roles. This program is a partnership between NPF Nexus and Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology. The program runs for 12 months. There is a 6-week orientation, two academic semesters, and a 6-week residency experience.
Collection Description
This collection is composed of documents that highlight the SIPP's social-emotional learning (SEL) and life skills learning process of concepts, skills, and attitudes. The SEL curriculum uses short lessons, a community of conscience, instructor models, naturalistic teaching opportunities, a feedback loop, student engagement through journaling, reflections, prompts, tools/guided worksheets, role-play situations, vignettes, and student self-monitoring.
Collection Contents
A summary of the SEL process; SEL competencies, standards, and benchmarks; a document on makerspaces; and master lists compose this collection.
The summary document provides SEL best practices and a framework for learning social-emotional skills.
The competencies, standards, and benchmarks documents provide information on knowledge, skills, and attitudes for developing social-emotional intelligence. Areas covered include self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making best practices.
Master lists provide a list of activities and practices for different SEL topics. For example, the regulation strategies master list explores practices like meditation, drawing, breathing exercises, and more.
Notes on makerspaces are also provided. These draw from an article entitled “Making Leaders: Leadership Characteristics Of Makers And Engineers In The Maker Community" from the December 2016 issue of the Journal of Engineering Education.
For orientation purposes the SEL Standards and Competencies.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this collection.
Additional program, semester, Innovation Hub, and SEL resources are available to view separately.
