SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING.

It’s such a buzzword lately, especially as teachers try to navigate the aftermath of the pandemic. 

Now more than ever our students are struggling socially and emotionally. 

Months of learning at home, isolated from teachers and friends has brought a series of issues that teachers are now learning to work through.

Social emotional learning, or SEL for short, is not new, but has certainly created a new buzzword.

The thing is, the social and emotional well-being of our students isn’t just the responsibility of school social workers and counselors - it’s all of our jobs.  

Students can not effectively access learning until their social and emotional needs are met.  These needs sit at the foundation from which all learning grows from.

That’s why I’ve invited Victoria from The Mindful Apple to come back on the podcast to help us set the stage for the new school year with one big priority:  social emotional learning.

She’ll give us the essentials and beyond to empower all educators with the tools to support our students beyond the academics.
