Intentional Interactions: Social-Emotional Learning in Everyday Experiences

Throughout any difficult time, such as the pandemic or recent weather-related disasters, we often hear “The children will be all right. They are resilient.” There is a difference, however, between short-term situational adaptability and true, lasting resiliency.

Children develop resiliency only through the purposeful and specific promotion of protective factors. With just a bit of relevant knowledge and preparation, educators will have the tools to intentionally strengthen children’s protective factors. In this four-part webinar series, educators and administrators will discuss the value of social–emotional learning (SEL) and learn simple yet effective strategies for promoting protective factors and resiliency in young children. Webinar participants will learn about products and techniques to support instruction of SEL, and they will receive guidance for developing plans for its everyday implementation.

Throughout this series, participants will learn about Protective Factors and make plans for actions can they take within their own classrooms and programs. You can download our fillable PDF for note-taking here: https://tchst.gs/SELWebinarNotes
