Discussing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) has encountered various challenges across Colorado and throughout the United States. Unfortunately, it has been subject to misconceptions, including confusion with Critical Race Theory and unfounded associations with certain agendas (including those who advocate for LGBTQ+ rights). Addressing SEL has thus become increasingly complex. However, we aim to offer adaptable approaches endorsed by statewide organizations, tailored to your school community's values.
Session Objectives:
- Participants will receive practical tools to navigate these discussions effectively
- Participants will learn different options when addressing the terms of Social Emotional Learning programming.
- Participants will learn techniques to calm high conflict conversations around Social Emotional Learning.
