Make social and emotional learning a way of being-all day, every day, and in any settingThe pandemic and subsequent switch to distance learning combined with recent instances of racial injustice has put a spotlight on the cracks in the practice of social and emotional learning (SEL). More than ever before, schools are shifting their focus and prioritizing SEL competencies-around the nation and the world. The call for compassion has never been greater.
To easily and effortlessly build SEL into virtual, blended, or in-person environments, behavior experts Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan and John Hannigan have drawn together a collection of tools and processes for SEL that can be applied in any learning environment. In
SEL from a Distance, you'll learn:
- The five SEL competencies and dozens of easy to use processes for building skills in each
- How to identify challenging behaviors and prioritize, define mastery, and teach the SEL skills necessary to address them
- Tips for identifying, teaching, modeling, and reinforcing SEL skills in a virtual setting
- Strategies for applying SEL to the needs of your unique learning environment
Let this practical, easy-to-use toolkit guide you through embedding these critical SEL competencies into your virtual classrooms and make SEL a way of being for you and your students-anytime, anywhere.
