Social-emotional learning (SEL) is critical for student success, yet educators often lack a clear, time-efficient path to integrate it into daily lessons. As a result, students may miss the chance to develop essential life skills, leading to lower emotional resilience and diminished academic growth. In this session, discover how to spot and strengthen the SEL already embedded in your teaching. You’ll gain practical insights for highlighting these hidden components, learn to combine strategies that calm classrooms and boost engagement, and receive access to over 200 evidence-based methods—each aligned to specific SEL competencies. Walk away prepared to build a thriving, supportive, and high-achieving learning environment.
