What's On Your Plate?
“SEL is not another thing on the plate. It is the plate.” Although SEL is not a new concept, many educators get overwhelmed when introducing it because they view it as “another thing” they have to complete. Using the Illinois SEL Standards, 10 Teaching Practices, and CASEL competencies, this session invites you to examine implementable ways to incorporate SEL in your academic lessons with ease.
