CEU Information

"The SEL Leadership Program from IFSEL has been wonderful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others!

I have thoroughly enjoyed connecting with educators from around the world that are willing to share their SEL journey with the class. The course is well-organized, and each online session has provided me with many resources that have been helpful, inspiring, motivating, and often leave me wanting to learn even more.

My individual coaching sessions that are included with the class have helped me create meaningful and achievable goals to help my school move forward in our SEL programming."
