Educator Social-Emotional Reflection & Training

A professional development program to support the social-emotional competence and well-being of educators.

Supporting educators to strengthen their own social-emotional competence is a key component to effective social-emotional learning (SEL) for students (CASEL, 2019). Too often, educators feel unprepared or without the necessary resources to successfully deliver SEL programming. When given these tools, educators are better equipped to build stronger relationships with students, manage classroom behaviors, and deliver SEL instruction effectively (Jennings & Greenberg, 2009).
