You have a social emotional learning need to fill? There’s a book to help you do just that! In addition to hearing about classroom-based practices and what the research says about using children’s literature to support SEL, this session will include an opportunity to learn about and interact with a wide array of books used by the presenter in her classroom as a catalyst for learning and conversations related to recognizing and regulating social emotional needs. Participants will come away with their book wish-list and ideas for immediate application of texts in their roles.
