Social & Emotional Learning at School & Home
Oct 02, 2020
As we head into the summer of 2020, the world is upside down and the future of education is murky at best. Now, more than ever, our students need us in more ways than academics - they need social and emotional support. While this proves difficult to provide through distance learning, it can be done, and it doesn’t require as much extra energy as we may have thought.
A direct and mindful focus on developing social and emotional learning help students build empathy, resilience, and collaborative skills, all proven to lead to lifelong success.
Beyond activities and strategies used as a classroom teacher, I also know that parents and families can use all the help they can get when it comes to supporting their teenagers.
I am so proud to partner with The Allstate Foundation and We Are Teachers to share their “Happy, Healthy Teens” SEL Parent Guide to help parents and families of teenagers find the tools and strategies they need. This free guide offers suggestions and guidance for helping teenagers develop the skills they need to cope with the ever-changing world around them with simple, actionable tips.
Take a look at the video below to see how I am supporting students in my classes, and how I plan to use the “Happy, Healthy Teens” SEL Parent Guide to help support them at home.
