social emotional learning
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is a strengths-based, developmental process that begins at birth and evolves across the lifespan (Weissberg et al., 2015). It is the process through which children, adolescents, and adults learn skills to support healthy development and relationships.
team building
Collaboration is a sought after skill. The ability to work in teams, listen to different perspectives, evaluate ideas respectfully and unite to create a unique and successful product is an essential part of any environment.
trauma-informed teaching
Trauma-informed teaching is a set of principles that guide educational policies and procedures. It's based on the idea that trauma can affect learning and behavior. Research indicates that social and emotional learning promotes academic achievement, well-being, positive life outcomes, decreased teacher burnout and can be a powerful tool for prevention and resilience when embedded with intentionality in curriculum, instruction, and school climate.
