On-Demand format

Character skills. Universal life skills. 21st century skills. No matter how we define it, the evidence is clear: Developing our children’s social-emotional learning (SEL) results in measurable success outcomes both in and out of school. And yet, educators often struggle to implement SEL in their classrooms, unsure of where and how to begin (let alone justify its pedagogy as worth the time and effort!). This engaging, interactive session addresses these challenges, sharing key insights and concrete strategies that approach SEL not as “add-ons” or another “nice-to-have,” but as a foundation that builds resilient students and integrates with our teaching.
