Building Connections: Linking Literacy and Life Skills Learning

We know books are powerful tools for teaching complex topics, especially when carefully curated to build connections for the reader. We also know teachers need easy-to-implement and meaningful literacy activities to teach important life skills, such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. In this webinar, we will explore three 15–20-minute literacy activities that seamlessly integrate these skills, taking complex concepts and making them actionable.

Social-Emotional Learning Starts with Us: Strategies for Teachers and Students

We can’t teach what we don’t know. Teachers, administrators, and support staff are most effective when they understand and develop their personal social-emotional capacities before addressing students. Research has shown that SEL increases academic achievement, improves behavior, and contributes to the overall sense of well-being for students and teachers. This dynamic session will provide participants with stand-alone SEL activities as well as engaging strategies that can be integrated into the content areas for grades K-12.
