Social Emotional Learning has become a core focus in education due to the growing challenges and demands faced in the classroom. In this session, participants will walk away with tips, tools, and strategies to use in their classrooms that focus on cultivating a supportive classroom environment, integrating SEL into academic instruction, and teaching explicit SEL instruction. We will discuss and model how to use SEL topics such as growth mindset, mindfulness, student book clubs, and restorative practices to build a classroom culture while integrating specific SEL instruction. Participants will walk away with tools, strategies, and ideas that can be taken back to their classrooms and implemented immediately.
