Self-Reflection Activities for Elementary Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent-teacher conference season is a great time to give students activities that encourage them to reflect on their work habits, social skills, and identify some of their strengths and weaknesses in the classroom. Whether students are filling out a basic skills form or writing freely about their strengths and areas of improvement, this can free up some time for you before conferences and can be a valuable addition to your meetings with guardians. Join us to learn some ideas that will help get students reflecting!
Conversation Building for ELLs Through SEL Activities
How can we teach English language learners to understand and effectively use SEL terms? In this session, we will build background knowledge by examining the importance of providing ELLs with the tools, resources, and language skills that they need in order to successfully tap into their own SEL needs and build meaningful relationships. Whether students are new to the language or new to the school, it is important that we explore tools that will help them build confidence through conversation. Join us as we explore specific resources such as SEL visual aids to support your ELLs. Plus, we'll give you free conversation prompts and activities to get students communicating!
Social media is an effective tool for opening up communication between teachers, students, and parents worldwide. Join us as we discuss the best practices for implementing popular social media networks into your classroom. We’ll also show you how to use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest to grow your own education- focused network. Let’s explore how to communicate with our students and engage them in learning through social media!
Remote Learning: Social-Emotional Learning for Upper Elementary
As if a transition to complete remote teaching isn’t challenging enough, as an Upper Elementary educator, you're also probably worrying about your students. There may be some disagreement as to whether students at this age understand what is going on right now, and what led to this major shift in teaching style. However, we can agree that students in this age group are looking to the adults closest to them -- parents and teachers -- for support. Join us as we share some lesson ideas for social-emotional learning (SEL) that you can incorporate into your remote teaching to help your students develop strong coping skills to adjust to this new reality.
Remote Learning: Social-Emotional Learning for Primary Students
As a primary level educator, you are most likely used to incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) into your lessons on a daily basis, since you're aware that students at this age need social and emotional support constantly. That job just became a little more challenging now that you are tasked with fostering students’ social-emotional skills when you aren’t able to be in class together. Join us as we share some lesson ideas for social-emotional learning that you can incorporate into your remote teaching to help your students develop strong coping skills to adjust to this new reality.
