Social Emotional Learning Starts with Us: Empowering Adults to Support Students (K–12): Webinar
We can’t teach what we don’t know. Teachers, administrators, and support staff are most effective when they understand and develop their personal social-emotional capacities before addressing students. Every adult who interacts with a student is a stakeholder in that student’s success. Because the school setting includes many contexts—classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, playground, bus—fostering a healthy school climate and culture requires active engagement from all adults and students. In this webinar, Trisha DiFazio and Allison Roeser of SEL & Beyond discuss how SEL begins with us.
Watch this webinar to:
- Understand the benefits of each of the five SEL core competencies and how they relate to your unique role.
- Enhance your own personal understanding of SEL by engaging in strategies firsthand.
- Be provided with easy-to-implement strategies that can be used anytime, anywhere.
