Back to the Basics - Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Wellbeing

Katria Kuzmowycz

With distance learning, it is crucial to nurture the social and emotional wellbeing of our students, particularly as we explore personal experiences with the pandemic and the rapidly-changing social and political climate. Teaching virtually does not mean that our students are unengaged. We can recreate the classroom teaching experience through Zoom and other virtual formats, using children’s literature to provide opportunities for reflection, music-making, movement, poetry-creation, art exploration, and important discussions about our emotions and feelings. By fostering a connection with our students through books, the opportunities for further lesson development, emotional growth, and student outreach are nearly endless.
