This interactive, hands-on workshop is designed to help educators effectively embed Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into everyday classroom instruction. Participants examine the benefits of SEL and develop a deep understanding of the five core competencies: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Responsible Decision-Making, and Relationship Skills. The session includes the use of best practices, lesson plans, and curriculum resources to support implementation. Teachers will leave equipped with actionable strategies to seamlessly integrate SEL into their instructional routines and classroom environments.
