Free TeachMeet on September 23: Navigating the Election
IFSEL’s Foundational SEL course prepares educators to teach this essential sequence of foundational skills with clarity and confidence.
Through engaging experiences and practical tools, teachers integrate SEL into daily routines. The result is less stress and classrooms that are more joyful, effective, and connected.
We will address the foundational skills all students need and offer creative ways to make them come alive in the classroom and beyond.
The framework aligns with CASEL and provides a common language for building emotional intelligence, positive communication, and restorative practices in ourselves and our students.
