The WHAT:

Findings of research in social neuroscience of social emotional engagement foster our ability to create supportive learning environments where social emotional engagement is a “Fuel” for a child’s learning.  When school communities gain knowledge of a social and emotional scope and sequence of skills and how to facilitate student growth in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) within classroom lessons, we create a positive school climate that is focused on the success of every student.  The Social Emotional Engagement – Knowledge and Skills (SEE-KS) program will be shared as a framework for fostering social emotional engagement, presenting information in multiple ways, and promoting student participation and relationships.  Creating a classroom setting and lesson plans with these elements creates a more desirable and predictable environment for our students to learn.  Participants will be able to take away strategies for measuring student engagement, designing instruction to address SEL competencies within everyday classroom lessons, and building capacity through teacher-to-teacher mentor-ship.
