Strengthening Achievement, Behavior, and Culture with Social, Emotional, and Academic Learning

Research is clear that social and emotional skills are foundational for success in school, college, the workplace, and life. Research also supports that if we want to SEL to be successful and sustainable with students, then it must start with the adults. It is NOT something we just give to students. In this highly active and engaging session, participant will explore the research supporting S.E.A.L. (Social, Emotional, and Academic Learning) and take part in self-reflection, discussions, and activities that they can immediately replicate with their students and colleagues. Participants will explore the competencies of S.E.A.L., the teaching practices that strengthen S.E.A.L., and how to infuse S.E.A.L. into their daily practices. The experiential learning in this session is designed to help participants have a deeper understanding of S.E.A.L. in order to strengthen their own social-emotional competencies, boost their efficacy to model and teach these skills to students, and build the capacity to infuse this mindset into site and classroom practices
