Episode Summary
What is social-emotional learning? And why it is crucial to address it daily with your students, including, if not especially, English learners. SEL or social-emotional learning is the buzzword nowadays, but it is very near and dear to my heart. As an educator, I, and I’m sure many of you, see firsthand how important it is for students to learn not only the content taught at school, but also how to discover and master certain life skills that will help them tackle life’s challenges and, of course, access the academic in school. It takes a village to raise a child. Family plays an important role in one’s emotional well-being and learning to exist in life, and so do the school and teachers. So today, I want to go back to the basics and give you 5 SEL components to incorporate into your ELL lessons.
