Summary - Building Critical Social and Emotional Skills Using Literature P26.4440. Online registration by Cvent

Do you wish you had an appropriate and engaging way to address social-emotional issues? Do you like to use authentic literature in your classroom teaching? SEL is a process for learning essential life skills such as decision making, problem solving, effective communication, empathy, perseverance, and coping, just to name a few. Teachers are searching for the most effective ways to introduce and teach appropriate social-emotional skills in the classroom as they relate to sensitive issues, many of which are beyond their control. This online course provides the perfect approach by using high-quality literature to deal with sensitive issues from tattling and appropriately developing friendships, to depression, stress and anxiety, bullying, substance abuse, and others. Teachers will be provided with thorough background information on each topic as well as the implications for the classroom environment and teaching. Then, a minimum of two books are shared for each topic along with three-to-five lesson plans for each title. The course introduces lesson plans for over twenty chapter books and thirteen picture books. An additional list of picture books and novels are shared for every single social-emotional topic presented in the course. By the end of this course, teachers will be well prepared to teach critical SEL skills through the reading of quality literature.
