Bringing SEL To Life: Skills For The Classroom And Beyond
As we introduce students to the key pillars of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, social awareness, relationship skills, viewers will meet other real-life students who share a pledge called “Words to Live By.” Watch as they incorporate movement into the Words and turn this daily ritual into a fun and engaging activity that is inclusive to the entire group.
Follow students throughout their day as they explain and model how the words of the pledge help them better understand themselves, control their actions, strengthen their relationships, and use their wings to soar!
