Why Your SEL Isn’t Working (And What to Do About It)
Format
Panel
Brief Program Description
Today, more than ever, our country’s students need social emotional learning that is meaningful. While most people will agree that SEL is very important, the majority of U.S schools still do not have an SEL program or procedure. For those that do, it is often not implemented well. Teacher buy-in is often a problem. Many SEL curricula are lacking in cultural relevancy and are also taught incorrectly. In this workshop, educators will be provided with evidence-based, practical strategies, procedures and resources for developing the social and emotional competency of all students. Attendees will be able to engage students of all races and socio-economic backgrounds in meaningful activities to share, critically analyze, problem-solve and overcome traumatic experiences, misinformation, negative feelings and beliefs so they can navigate life successfully.
