Why SEL?

• Focuses on Social-Emotional Learning
• Daily Instruction: Can be easily incorporated into your daily routine.
• Addresses Student’s Needs: Students already walk into our classrooms dealing with external factors like hunger, poverty, family issues, health concerns, etc.Some of these factors we may never be aware of as teachers unless we start building rapport and have our students open up to after building positive relationships and trust.
• Daily Check Ins: With daily check-ins, educators are able to begin each day connecting with your students.
• Classroom Management: When we teach students to identify their emotions and appropriate coping skills, we, as teachers, will spend less time intervening with inappropriate behaviors.This SEL resource will provide the foundations for students to help identify their emotions and what to do with them.This resource will also help to identify stressors, strengths, and respect all while building empathy and confidence.
• Multi-Use: This resource is wonderful for primary teachers or school counselors needing ideas for integrating SEL into their students’ routines. It is packed with activity ideas, ideas for cross-curricular ideas, books, video recommendations, and more!
