What Is SEL?

  • According to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), “SEL is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.”

  • SEL 101 – This workshop provides participants with an overview of social and emotional learning, the five social and emotional competencies that all children and adults need to be successful, the research that supports this work, and an opportunity for adults to self-reflect. 
  • Preparing Adults for SEL – Before you can teach SEL you must have a strong understanding of your own SEL competencies.  This workshop helps participants to reflect on their strengths and areas for potential growth, identify hot buttons and self-care strategies, and think about how to create conditions for SEL among school staff.

  • SEL in the Classroom - This series is designed to give educators practical strategies to infuse SEL skills into their every day practices in the classroom.  These workshops are designed for K-12 classroom teachers.
