Social-emotional learning has been proven to be an essential part of students' education, especially in light of the past years. However, the benefit of SEL is not limited to the students in our classrooms. Educators also benefit from the integration of a robust SEL program at a school-wide level.
Many of the same strategies and resources we use with our students can also help education staff understand and utilize strategies to manage stress and anxiety—some of the leading causes of professional burnout.
Join Branching Minds and Vivensity’s imSparked SEL program as we discuss resources and strategies specifically designed to support educator SEL. In this one-hour webinar, we will:
-
Define SEL as it applies to educators
-
Discuss how educator SEL is integrated into an MTSS framework
-
Review SEL programs and resources that provide support for educators
-
Provide research-based SEL strategies specifically targeting teachers and support staff
