Along with the recent growth in districts and schools dedicated to promoting SEL in their schools and communities has been the expectation that teachers are proficient in social-emotional instruction. Yet, many educators are unaware of specific strategies and approaches that should be used in their classrooms and schools to promote their students' social-emotional development. In addition, findings from recent reports highlight how many teachers are currently struggling with their own social-emotional well-being.
This webinar will outline key considerations for districts and schools looking to promote their educators' SEL as well as the SEL of their students. We will be joined by Miriam "Mimi" Seeley from Inspire SEL, who will provide an overview of their free SEL professional development program and how educators can best support their own social-emotional well-being while promoting SEL with their students.
In this webinar, participants will:
- Learn about recent research related to educator social-emotional skills and their ability to effectively support student SEL
- Understand how to support teacher and educator social-emotional well-being
- Gain valuable insights into the Inspire SEL program and how it can be implemented in districts and schools
