I love this idea from a teacher I was talking with today. I have always liked that poster of “what to say instead of ‘I don’t know,’” but how much more powerful would it be to have students generate those prompts! As we were talking, we started planning this as a way to start the year, and I quickly realized we didn’t even have to wait...this could be a conversation anytime you’re approaching a problem solving situation. Jot down what students brainstorm, keep their prompts visible, and to align this with explicit dialogue for SEL, remind students that this is building their self-awareness as we craft ways to improve our growth mindset and self-efficacy.

So excited to share that I’ll be presenting 2 sessions alongside my good friend and colleague, Rebekah Kmieciak, at @region13coaches ICC this summer.

Excited to share this article I had the opportunity to write for @edutopia, “How to Embed SEL into Your Instruction.” In it, I crafted some sample language for each of CASEL’s 5 core competencies as well as some thoughts around rephrasing questions to foster a more supportive classroom environment. I hope this can give some specific, practical ideas for SEL in the classroom. Check it out with the link in my bio!
