A framework for emotional and social development
Noun: Latin Fāgus (“beech”) – The Tree of Learning
Welcome to Fagus and thank you for visiting our site!
Fagus is an easy-to-use online educational resource which was originally developed at Beech Lodge School, for pupils who have social, emotional, attachment and developmental trauma-related difficulties. However, Fagus has a much wider application and can be used with many school-aged children who exhibit social & emotional challenges.
The Fagus framework enables educators to reflect on children's behaviour, identify a child's current level of social & emotional development across 13 domains and put in place a robust assessment and tracking process using SMART goals and interventions.
