“To promote students’ social and emotional competence, it’s important for schools to simultaneously foster a supportive staff environment that cultivates the social and emotional competence and capacity of the adults in the building” (CASEL, 2020). This workshop focuses on developing personal SEL skills, examining biases for cultural competence, and encouraging growth mindset for staff. Through collaborative learning, we will share strategies to model, embed and sustain an SEL environment to empower adults in your building.
