New PLEASE NOTE: This training is offered specifically to staff of EANS eligible schools. Many of us work extensively to create what we call a prosocial classroom: a space characterized by safety, care, and the development of a range of social and emotional skills. The development of SEL skills begins and is sustained within us (the adults!). In this session, participants will review the five CASEL competencies and SEL theory of action to build a common language. Then, facilitators will explore a range of factors that impact Adult SEL: values, well-being and stress, climate and culture, and deficit versus unconditional mentalities. Through discussion and applied activities, we'll unpack these concepts and how they can promote or interfere with a prosocial classroom environment. To end, we'll bring it back to our pedagogy and discuss the practices (e.g. classroom management, climate, and SEL implementation) that call upon the use of our skills. This session is designed for school professionals with some familiarity of SEL, but who would like to delve deeper and explore further.
