SEL in Everything We Do

This session focuses on educational practices that support SEL and well-being. As humans, we are constantly looking to make connections and improve ourselves. Trauma from Adverse Child Experiences (ACE) impacts how we see and interact with the world. We must move from a model of compliance to a model when we learn about ourselves, how our brain works, and trauma’s impact on learning and connecting. The pandemic has created trauma and accelerated change in our schools. We have the opportunity to alter how we view practices such as grading, curriculum, and discipline with an SEL lens to better support those entering our schools each day.
