There’s a digital teaching tool for nearly every aspect of a student’s academic learning. But what may go missing – and is just as important – is a child’s social and emotional learning (SEL), or whole-child education, which 93% of teachers surveyed want to focus on more. This growing movement teaches kids how to achieve goals, understand and manage emotions, build empathy, forge relationships, and make responsible decisions.
And it’s working. One study published in Child Development showed an 11% gain in academic achievement for students participating in an SEL program. Another study in the Journal of Benefit-Cost Analysis showed an $11 benefit for every $1 spent on a rigorous SEL program.
Join national teaching pro, Vicki Davis, renowned podcaster, blogger, and expert, “Cool Cat Teacher”, to learn about SEL in the digital teaching world. Vicki will share her insights and experiences in successfully addressing SEL needs with modern digital tools.
Here’s a sneak peek of what Vicki will cover:
- Ways to apply SEL techniques in the digital classroom where student emotions are not easy to see
- How to connect with and help students who struggle with communication
- How to personalize learning to meet each student’s individual needs
