Social Emotional Learning for Parents: Webinar
Families and caregivers are children’s first teachers and bring deep expertise about their development, experiences, culture, and learning needs. When schools and families form authentic partnerships, they can build strong connections that reinforce students’ social and emotional development.

Warning: life may get a bit easier at home after attending!
Viewers will:
- Understand the “what, why, and how” of SEL and its value at home.
- Enhance their own personal understanding of SEL by engaging in strategies firsthand.
- Be equipped with easy-to-implement strategies at home.
