This inspiring course has been reformatted to provide educators a supportive cohort group while also presenting an effective lesson sequence and simple and profound practices to either begin or fine-tune SEL.
All sessions are interactive, engaging and practical. The four core sessions will share practical resources and ideas to start the year on a foundation of SEL, and the follow up sessions will offer opportunities during the school year to reconnect, reflect, and gain support.
Foundational SEL skills, taught with intention, are more important than ever in our school settings, classrooms, and parenting groups. Young learners need skills and vocabulary to develop self and social awareness and to engage in deep and meaningful education. Never before has the focus on relationships and belonging been so important.
The framework that will be presented aligns with CASEL's framework and provides a common language to build emotional intelligence, positive communication, restorative practices in ourselves and with our students.

IFSEL’s recommendations for enriching teaching practices utilize creative metaphor, reflective questioning, experiential learning, and analytic thinking to activate young hearts and minds. While this workshop is geared towards elementary teachers, the lessons and practices described can be adapted for all ages, including higher education and parents. The sequence of skills and lessons outlined may serve as a starting point for building a comprehensive toolbox of skills or to be integrated into an existing SEL curriculum.
