How to foster social-emotional skills via project-based learning

Let's discuss the importance of social-emotional learning. While social-emotional learning is a vital part of development for everyone, I think we need to emphasize fostering social-emotional learning skills now more than ever. Our students are experiencing new learning environments, hearing and witnessing social injustices, political controversies, etc. Plus, many students are experiencing social isolation or a reduction in other support systems that they typically have access to at school. I've heard from several teachers that they have received very little training and are unsure if they're providing adequate support to students. In this episode, we will explore how to foster social-emotional skills through project-based learning experiences.Tune in to hear:Why some teachers may find it necessary to focus on their social-emotional needsBenefits of social-emotional learningThe five competencies of social-emotional learningWhy every teacher should take the SEL through distance learning teacher self-reflection survey by CASEL and how to use it to improve their instruction How to utilize social and instructional teaching practices to promote social-emotional learning in your classroomWays to foster social-emotional skills during project-based learningWhat skills or resources do teachers need to be able to promote social-emotional learning in their classroom environmentAre you ready to become a high-impact project-based educator?[FREE] Download the Impactful PBL Roadmap™  planning document to craft your next project-based learning unit + receive weekly tips to enhance your facilitation skills via email.[FREE] Check out The Impactful PBL Roadmap™: 9 Steps to PBL Success e-guide which covers the nine phases you need to design a memorable, authentic, and rigorous learning experience for K-8 students via project-based learning.[PAID] Join our Impactful PBL Roadmap™: Launch program, an online course, coach, and community of educators exploring and implementing research-backed project-based instructional practices.Support the showThank you for listening!
