Presented by:

• Jennifer Orr

Description:

Explore how to engage interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, of both yourself as the teacher and your students, in order to help them process all they are facing right now. Teachers will learn about leveraging their own social and emotional skills in order to support students’ development, including social, emotional, and academic. We will use interactive slides and other opportunities for active engagement for the learning in this session. Participants will be provided copies of strategies and activities to utilize in their classrooms and with their students.
