Social Emotional Learning Part III
Our first step when intervening with a child is to assess their difficulty with feelings or behavior. We nearly always opt for behavior when the reality is a lack of ability to regulate emotion.
Social Emotional Learning Part IV
When students call out in class or kids interrupt you when you are speaking, is often due to their difficulty containing feelings. Helping them learn to be patient is critical to their growth.
Social Emotional Learning Part V
Examine the integration of our less- desirable selves and the use of self-reflective practices in the pursuit of growing self-worth/ identity. Self-reflective practitioners inspire students.
Social Emotional Learning Part VI
Children of all ages are on a quest for a sense of self. Middle and H.S. students especially, struggle every day to balance their needs for acceptance with uniqueness, while growing self-worth.
Social Emotional Learning Part VII
The omnipresent fear of school violence makes understanding aggression an essential element of educating and parenting. Learn different types of aggression as part of child development.
Social Emotional Learning Part VIII
If children learn how to recognize their needs, the next step is how to advocate for getting those needs met. The successful development of this PSEL creates leaders and not followers.
Social Emotional Learning Part IX
With a growing national divide, young people are seeing the results of differencing without caring for the beliefs of others. Restoring empathy is a key to academic and SEL learning.
Social Emotional Learning Part X
Navigating differences while staying engaged with another is one of the most challenging tasks for a human being, much less a child. Learn how to teach this critical skill to kids of all ages.
Success Stories
"Whole School Health Through Psychosocial Emotional Learning highlights the importance of relationships, communication, and compassion for others. It presents a critical view in supporting, training, and retaining teachers through the lens of engaging and modeling behaviors that will help our rural students be better civic leaders and community members. My favorite quote from the book gives credit to the author's upbringing and modeling from his parents: 'We must experience the world through others so we can fully engage in educating all children. My father and mother modeled to me and my siblings how to experience the world through somebody else’s eyes, especially if their outer differences stirred up discomfort or displeasure, enriching all lives involved.' I recommend all leaders, teachers, and stakeholders secure their copy as they prepare for school."
