Candidates will understand the promise of effective social emotional learning (SEL) practices.  Candidates will learn about the importance of teacher agency, as it relates to SEL instruction. Understanding the roadblocks in SEL will help candidates understand how they can proactively plan to overcome barriers and support other educators with change at the building level. This seminar will provide candidates with an understanding of these concepts, and opportunities to collaborate with each other.

Participants who are not ESD-U candidates are asked to identify themselves by adding “PEP” or “PD” to their Zoom participant name so seminar leaders will be able to manage breakout rooms and requirements appropriately.
