| Connection before content. As educators, we know that when our students feel safe, seen and inspired that learning naturally follows. However, with so many curricular expectations on our plate, it can feel overwhelming to consider how to fit in the intentional instruction of social-emotional competencies. At the same time, we are seeing an increase in mental health concerns among youth, and a well-documented, CDC recommended way to support youth mental health is through SEL and mindfulness interventions. We know our classrooms need SEL, but what does it look like on a day to day basis? In this experiential workshop, we will engage in exploratory and reflective practices that will help us to deepen our awareness of social-emotional competencies and how we can seamlessly integrate high-yield SEL practices into the fabric of our daily routines. As an important part of supporting our students, we will be weaving in exercises that allow us to deepen our own self-awareness and self-management skills, as teacher wellbeing also has a direct effect on student wellbeing. Be prepared to write, discuss, explore and reflect - and to walk away with practical strategies that can help you to create a warm and beloved community this year. Some of the areas of exploration will be:
