To meet the needs of K-12 students, Social and Emotional Learning can and must come alive within all subject areas. This experiential online course will provide techniques for integrating SEL into all teaching and learning.

Key Concepts that will be covered:

  • How can educator practices such as Questions for Personal and Social Insight, Use of Choice, and Group Design for Collaboration reinforce key subject concepts?
  • What curricula-inspired connections exist between specific subjects and SEL?
  • How can these be explored to nurture student creativity and engagement?
  • How can applying the SEL lens enable student experiences, such as trips, graduation ceremonies, dances, etc., to be set up for success?
  • How can the SEL lens help make our classes more inclusive?

Both practical and conceptual, this course offers participants the opportunity to collaborate with fellow attendees from a community of international educators from public, private, and IB Schools.
