AA#4093 Going From a School That Teaches SELS to a School...(07727)

Presenter: Ambrose Panico

Participants learn how to close the chasm between teaching SELS and kids using their skills. Using them to navigate classroom life; from making friends, to peacefully resolving conflicts, to actively participating in collaborative discipline conferences - SELS have a role to play. Rooted in the belief that students thrive in environments where they feel safe, so that they can be brave, kind, and inclusive.

Participants are asked to introspect about the environments they offer their students. A blueprint for creating caring classroom communities is provided. Participants experience the essential elements necessary to facilitate kids using SELS in real life, in real time, on real situations, in real classrooms. They explore a resource that not only includes these elements but offers a myriad of options they might choose to use to support, enhance, and activate whatever SELS curriculum they implement.

Pre-session assignments include reading the book, The Difference Between Teaching Social Emotional Learning Skills and Kids Using Them, and completing the pre-session components of the My Plan for Facilitating SELS Use in My School (Template provided).

The participants partially completed plan templates will be shared in a Large Group Discussion, further developed in a Small Group Activity, and completed as the Individual Application/Dissemination Activity during the in-classroom direct contact portion of the Administrator Academy.
REGISTRATION INCLUDES A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEACHING SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING SKILLS AND KIDS USING THEM
