The WHAT:
Findings of research in social neuroscience of social emotional engagement foster our ability to create supportive learning environments where social emotional engagement is a “fuel” for a child’s learning. When school communities gain knowledge of a social and emotional scope and sequence of skills
and how to facilitate student growth in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) within classroom lessons, we create a positive school climate that is focused on the success of
every student. The Social Emotional Engagement – Knowledge and Skills (SEE-KS) program will be shared as a framework for fostering social emotional engagement, presenting information in multiple ways, and promoting student participation and relationships. Creating a classroom setting and lesson plans with these elements creates a more desirable and predictable environment for our students to learn.
Participants will be able to take away strategies for measuring student engagement, designing instruction to address SEL competencies within everyday classroom lessons, and building capacity through teacher-to-teacher mentorship.
The WHEN:
8:30am – 10:00am “The Why” - Current developments in social neuroscience;
social emotional engagement is a powerful “fuel” for learning
10:00am – 10:15am Morning break
10:15am – 11:30am “The What” – Fostering social emotional learning within a universal design for learning framework:
embedding strategies to foster engagement and present information in multiple ways within classroom lessons
11:30am – 12:30pm Lunch
12:30pm – 2:00pm “The What” – Fostering social emotional learning within a universal design for learning framework:
embedding strategies to foster expression in multiple ways
2:00pm – 2:15pm Afternoon break
2:15pm – 3:30pm “The How” - Fostering social emotional learning using teacher to teacher mentorship;
Application of appreciative inquiry techniques using video case studies
The WHY:
As a result of this activity, the participant will be able to…
- Identify at least two implications of social neuroscience that impact how we delivery services in an effective manner.
- Identify three domains of essential instructional strategies that promote active student engagement and positive outcomes.
- Apply a checklist of instructional strategies for fostering the emotional “hook,” providing information in different ways, and fostering student expression within academic activities.
